In the charming district of Salamanca, you’ll find lots of cosy corners – one of which is home to Bless Hotel Madrid. Most guests at the hotel are young adults on a weekend getaway, looking to be in close proximity to some of Madrid’s most popular restaurants and boutiques, while still having the luxury of relaxing at the rooftop pool. To welcome the sunset, head to Picos Pardos Sky Lounge – overlooking the majority of the city. All rooms are elegant yet minimalistic, with those Premium Room and up having its own electrical fireplace.

Insider tip: The ‘tension recovery’ 60-min. massage at Beldon Wellness is perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
