Picolo recommends · Hotel in Madrid, Spain
Only YOU Boutique Hotel Madrid
An old palace on the edge of Chueca, reworked in glass, deep blue and green, where the lobby bar is busy with neighbours on a weeknight.
Calle Barquillo marks the border between buzzing Chueca and the calmer Justicia quarter, and this hotel sits right on it. The old palace has been given a bold makeover, with glass, saturated blues and greens throughout.
Reception, bar and restaurant flow into one another, and they fill up with people from the neighbourhood even midweek. Chueca's bars are around the corner and Gran Vía is a few minutes away.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Only YOU Boutique Hotel Madrid
We chose it for design lovers who want to be part of Madrid's evenings. The rooms are bright and well kitted out, and the location puts the city's liveliest streets right outside.
It is a social hotel, not a sanctuary. Weekend nights can run late, so request a rear-facing room if sleep matters, or choose Hotel Orfila for real quiet.
