InterContinental Madrid, Madrid

Hotel Introduction

Inspired by an 18th-century palace, the InterContinental Madrid is at the centre of elite shopping and famous cultural attractions. Marble is the first indication of the luxuries that await throughout the hotel. The striking red marble adorning the lobby floor was imported from the eastern coast of Spain, and the marble stairway extending from the lobby is courtesy of a centuries-old palace.

The city may be at your doorstep, but it can be difficult to leave the posh InterContinental and its remarkable facilities. The hotel’s three restaurants and lounges provide a wide-reaching menu of delicious cuisine and beverages, individualized tours, a full-service fitness centre with panoramic views of Madrid, rejuvenating massages, and a beauty salon.

All of the 307 rooms and suites are designed to reflect a contemporary, sophisticated feeling. They include delightful amenities such as a bathroom decorated with marble, a dressing room, plush bathrobes, Internet browser TV, in-room games and movies, and an audio system. The luxurious suites cater to discriminating travellers by offering a whirlpool tub; kitchenette; complimentary meeting room; and premium services including breakfast buffets, cocktails, lunch and dinner snacks, and beverages.

Dining
El Café is a relaxed restaurant where diners can sample a menu featuring Mediterranean and international favourites such as tapas, paella, and freshly grilled meats—all accompanied by live piano and harp music. El Jardín del InterContinental treats guests to delightful fare within a lush courtyard ambience. Chef Jose Luque presents decadent dishes including Cocido Madrileño—a national dish of Spain—and unforgettable desserts. Bar 49 is many things: a secluded spot for drinks, a refined locale for afternoon tea, and a sushi and tapas bar. Local wines are a specialty, as well as the Rossini, made with champagne and crushed strawberries.

Spa
With lovely views of Madrid, the top-floor fitness centre will keep you inspired all through your workout. When you’re ready to relax, indulge in a pampering treatment like one of the many massages on the spa menu. For additional convenience, a beauty salon is onsite to provide a full array of services.
