Expert review of Adler
Classic design and superb service in an elegant neighbourhood.
If you’re coming to Madrid to do some serious shopping, the Adler is in the heart of smartness. This is a hotel for people who love contemporary art and have had enough of minimalist decor. A proper grown-up hotel, in other words.
Location:
The late 19th-century building is on the corner of Velázquez and Goya streets in the swish Salamanca district. And it’s on the right side of town for getting to the airport too.
Bedrooms:
There are has 45 rooms and suites with classic décor. All - even the singles - are spacious. Doubles have a minimum area of 31 square metres. All have a lot of natural light and most have street views, but ask for a courtyard view if you want a particularly quiet room. The junior suites are particularly attractive and cosy, some with fireplaces and freestanding bathtubs. You feel you are staying in the home of a raffish wealthy relative rather than a hotel.
