Hotel Sor Madrid

Tucked away in pulsing-with-life Salesas, Hotel Sor Madrid promises to slow your pace and soothe your senses. Outside its walls eclectic bars, boutiques and cafés vie for your attention – and after all, who can resist the allure of these colourful streets? But when Sor’s heavy wooden doors swing open, they reveal a cool, shade-dappled courtyard, minimalist bedrooms and a glorious sense of tranquillity.

You’d expect nothing less from the former Convent of the Recogidas de Santa María Magdalena, sensitively reimagined by renowned architect Isay Weinfeld. The nuns have moved on, but Hotel Sor Madrid pays homage to their legacy with its warm, but discreet hospitality. Soaring ceilings in the former refectory set the scene for dinners to remember. While the cloister is the aromatic-scented heart of the hotel, where birdsong and the gentle trickle of water are the only sounds accompanying your morning coffee. It's the perfect spot to plan the day ahead – or recover from the night before.

Merrymakers will find plenty to explore in Salesas, one of Madrid’s most creative and characterful neighbourhoods. Independent boutiques and restaurants line its very walkable streets, punctuated with contemporary art galleries and handmade ceramic stores. The Mercado de Sant’Anton is three floors of foodie heaven, capped with a rooftop bar for sunset sangria sipping. While Madrid’s more ‘traditional’ sights, such as the Royal Palace, Opera House and Puerta del Sol are just a stroll away.
