Expert review of Room Mate Laura
A chic design hotel with a New York feel, hidden away from the crowds.
Like all hotels in the Room Mate group, the Laura is all bright colours and sharp attitude. The difference here is that all rooms have kitchens, making it an ideal place for longer stays, families or anyone who needs to spend time in the hotel to work.
Location:
This isn’t somewhere you’d come upon by chance. Even people who know Madrid backwards would be hard put to tell you exactly where it is. But it’s right in the heart of the city, behind El Corte Inglés department store and just off an historic square dominated by the Descalzas Reales convent.
Bedrooms:
Designer Tomas Alia has put a large print of Juana de Austria, the founder of the adjacent convent, in prime position in the spacious rooms. In ascending order of size, they are classed as studios, lofts, chic lofts or suites, with well-equipped galley kitchens. 104 is a duplex loft with a lounge area with a shag pile rug on the wall and a balcony onto the square. 307 is a studio, which means no separate seating area. It also has a balcony onto the square, as well as a desk with the sort of lamp you might find in a photographic studio and Diamond steel mesh chairs, designed by Harry Bertoia for Knoll – you know, the ones that look like chip fryers. Suite 402 on the top floor is pretty spectacular with a sloping roof and a skylight. All rooms have free WiFi and flat-screen televisions with DVD players.
