NH Collection Madrid Colón, Madrid [2026 Departure]
Newly refurbished and perfectly placed in Madrid’s chic Salamanca neighborhood, the NH Collection Madrid Colón is all about comfort and location. Just steps from the famous Golden Mile, home to boutique shops, buzzy cafés, and top-tier restaurants, this sleek hotel puts you right in the middle of the city’s most refined district. With fresh contemporary design and effortless access to Madrid’s cultural highlights, it’s an ideal home base for soaking up the city in style.
Downstairs, the hotel’s kitschy, color-splashed restaurant brings a playful pop of personality, serving up bold flavors in a space that feels equal parts art installation and hangout. The Colón Bar keeps the energy flowing with creative cocktails and a relaxed vibe – the perfect excuse to linger long after the first round.
The restaurant’s stark white décor is sleek and minimalist, letting clean lines and modern design set a calm, polished tone. Each morning, a robust breakfast spread steals the spotlight, with an impressive selection of fresh pastries, hot dishes, and local favorites to fuel the day ahead. There’s also a mid-sized gym if you’re keen to fit in a workout.
Each room is decked out with plush bedding, top-notch tech like flat-screen TVs and high-speed Wi-Fi, plus the little touches that make you feel pampered. Open up the exterior doors and let the city view right in, or close the curtains for a disco nap (which might be necessary considering how late Spaniards are known to have dinner and/or head out on the town).
Avani Alonso Martinez, Madrid [2027 Departure]
This property, dating back to 1919 and named after the nearby Alonso Martínez Square, features characteristic wrought iron balconies on a century-old facade. Think “heritage-swanky” with a flamenco vibe.
Step inside for a more contemporary interior design, with an array of neon signs displayed on the walls of the chic lobby.
The pristine guestrooms are furnished with local art, hardwood floors, and a view of the surrounding city. The marbled design of the ensuites is particularly impressive. They didn’t have ensuites like this a century ago!
H10 Palacio Colomera, Córdoba
Upon arrival at this handsome property, we’ll be greeted by the old-world elegance of its facade, which gazes over the playful fountains of Plaza de las Tendillas.
But as we learned in Madrid, you can’t judge a Spanish hotel by its cover! The lobby flips the script into a classical vibe, with Romanesque columns and archways that exude a stately feel.
The guestrooms are top-notch and feature muted tones with a modern design. The ensuites, however, are surprisingly spacious and adorably equipped. Even the window is oversized! Luckily, there are floor-to-ceiling privacy curtains.
Need some downtime? The courtyard pool is a perfect spot to go for a shady dip. Might as well order a libation while you’re at it!
Don’t forget to check out the cozy rooftop terrace, which boasts a perch above the action and a view of the surrounding buildings.
H10 Casa de la Plata, Sevilla
Newly built and located on a pedestrian street in the heart of Sevilla, this captivating property is the perfect base from which to explore the city.
The lobby has a kitschy vibe, as a kaleidoscope of colors and styles effectively creates an exciting and inviting atmosphere. And in honor of the hotel’s name, guests will be greeted by a wall of plates (platas) on display behind the front desk.
The central courtyard is both breezy and whimsical. Hint: The art-deco flair combined with the soft lighting makes it a fantastic spot for your next social media-winning selfie. Or if you’re feeling peckish, grab a spot at the restaurant.
Each guestroom was designed with spaciousness, silence, comfort and elegance in mind. Pull the curtains shut for a nap at any point, or leave them open to allow the Sevillian ambience to seep in.
Be sure to spend some time on the rooftop terrace, which features a bar and an L-shaped pool with an underwater viewing window.
Hospes Palacio de los Patos, Granada [2026 Departure]
This 19th-century palace is located only steps from the iconic Granada Cathedral and combines the charm of a UNESCO-protected building with modern flair, offering a truly unforgettable stay. Picture yourself strolling through lush gardens adorned with Arabian-style fountains – it’s like stepping into a storybook!
The lobby is a sight to behold! Stately and lavish from just about any angle, the grandeur of the interior is both historic and inviting. They definitely don’t make them like this anymore!
When you’re ready to unwind, head to the hotel’s tranquil spa, where you can relax in the sauna, Turkish bath, or soothing whirlpool. Need some extra pampering? Treat yourself to a rejuvenating massage or a beauty treatment tailored just for you. This is a 5-star property, after all.
The guestrooms are the perfect blend of elegance and contemporary design, while still honoring the history of this magnificent property. Kick back with flat-screen satellite TV, a fully stocked minibar, and a safe for your valuables. Plus, enjoy the extra indulgence of plush bathrobes and slippers in your private bathroom.
H10 Casanova, Barcelona
For our final stay, we’ve pulled out all the stops! The H10 Casanova’s prime placement, unmatched amenities, and seductive rooftop pool will likely lead to thoughts of extending the stay another few days (or months).
The charming lobby is a fusion of modernity with retro-elegance. Thirsty? The boutique bar is easily found and a fantastic place to sip Sangria, the national drink of Spain.
Once you’re settled, head on up to the rooftop terrace and plunge pool for views that can’t be beat. At night, we may even hear the echoes of flamenco music from the streets below.
The hotel’s distinct style accompanies us into our rooms. Clean lines, hardwood floors, and neutral tones with a splash of color will greet us after a long day exploring everything this world-class city has to offer.
The cherry on top is the amenities! There’s a workout room with gym equipment and a stellar view, as well as a rejuvenating day spa (appointments must be booked in advance).
