URSO Hotel & Spa, Madrid Hotels
Luxury spa-hotel in a neoclassical building with stained-glass windows, marble floors, and a restored central patio
Nestled in the vibrant northern edges where the trendy Malasaña and Chueca neighborhoods converge, the URSO Hotel & Spa occupies a stunning early 20th-century palace, meticulously restored to its former glory. This luxurious establishment boasts 78 beautifully appointed rooms, all thoughtfully arranged within a charming four-story building. The hotel’s decor is a loving homage to its Art Deco heritage, evident in the ornate masonry work and exquisite decorative stonework that adorns the building’s facade and interior.
The atmospheric Greenhouse Restaurant provides a delightful dining experience, while the elegant lobby bar beckons with its nightly live piano music and an impressive selection of champagnes. Guests at the URSO Hotel & Spa benefit from exceptional access to the city, thanks to its proximity to several metro stations, allowing for effortless exploration of Madrid’s many attractions. For those who prefer to travel on foot, iconic landmarks such as Gran Vía, Puerta del Sol, and the sprawling El Retiro Park are all within easy walking distance.
**Pros:**
One of the hotel’s signature offerings is the Lobby Bar’s afternoon treat: traditional melted chocolate served with crispy, authentic Spanish churros, a perfect indulgence after a day of sightseeing. For fitness enthusiasts, the on-site fitness center is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring that guests can maintain their workout routines while traveling. The unparalleled access to three metro stations makes navigating the city simple and convenient. Furthermore, guests can immerse themselves in the local culture with leisurely strolls through the vibrant, hip neighborhoods of Tribunal, Chueca, and Malasaña, as well as visit the magnificent Gran Vía and the serene El Retiro Park. The hotel also features two exceptional restaurants that are highly regarded by the local population.
**Cons:**
While the URSO Hotel & Spa offers a wealth of amenities, it features a limited number of common spaces, such as lounges, for guests to relax and socialize outside of their rooms. Families traveling with children should note that on-site activities specifically designed for kids are somewhat limited, and the hotel’s restaurants do not offer dedicated children’s menus. Due to their popularity with both hotel guests and local residents, reservations at the hotel’s restaurants may be necessary, particularly during peak dining hours, to guarantee a table.

You won't need to go far beyond the Alhambra of Granada and the streets of Barcelona to find the real Spain. Step away from the crowds and you'll find that this destination has retained its depth—centuries of history linger in hilltop villages, and wild landscapes abound from the craggy Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coast. This is where you come to revel in the good life, whatever that means to you: hiking through Galicia, embracing the architecture of Bilbao, or eating your way through the Basque Country.
When is the best time to visit?
Generally, April-June and September-October offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds than peak summer months. One exception is northern Spain, where springtime sees more rain than in other parts of the country; here, June-September is your best bet. July and August are the hottest months of the year—for sun worshippers, this could be the perfect time to visit.
Where should I go in Spain?
If you're heading to Spain for the highlights, you'll want to start with Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, and Seville. Not your first trip? Consider San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, and Valencia. And if you truly want to venture off the track, craft your itinerary from the literal road less traveled—hike through the Pyrenees to hidden villages, drink wine in La Rioja, explore Mérida and the Extremadura region, and the list goes on.
How many days do I need?
While it's possible to have a fun trip to one of Spain's cities over a long weekend, we recommend at least 5 days if you really want to experience a region. Madrid makes for a great base for taking regional day trips, and the same goes for Barcelona—medieval coastal villages and hiking trails in the Pyrenees are all within driving distance.
If you have 10 days, choose between northern and southern Spain to minimize travel time. A southern route could include Madrid, Mérida (or another stop in Extremadura), Seville, and Granada. Travelers interested in the north can hit Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Oviedo, and Santiago de Compostela. With two weeks or more, geography is no longer an issue—just connect the dots to form a country-wide itinerary.
Getting around Spain
Most travelers fly into either Madrid or Barcelona, and short, domestic flights are a convenient way to hop between major cities. Flying is also the best option for reaching the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. For areas without airports, Spain’s high-speed AVE trains are fast and comfortable. Driving is another good option, as cities are mostly connected by well-maintained highways.
