The Principal Madrid Hotel

A modern-day landmark at Madrid’s vibrant cultural core

On the edge of fashionable Gran Vía in Madrid stands The Principal. Beyond the magnificent façade is a boutique hotel that oozes cosmopolitan style. Where a trend-setting restaurant, skyline-skimming bar and soothing rooms await. While the sights and sounds of the city buzz outside, inside The Principal you’ll discover instant calm.

The look and feel is sophisticated townhouse meets urban retreat. The Wellness Suite is made for 21st-century city breaks, with spa treatments to unwind post-sightseeing. Discover creative haute cuisine and panoramic views at Ático – one of the city’s must-visit restaurants. Then make a beeline for Terraza. From this glass-fronted bar and urban garden you can sip gin, listen to music and watch the sun set beyond the rooftops of Madrid.

Night and day, Madrid is brimming with things to do. And The Principal Madrid puts you at the heart of it all. Outside the hotel door is Gran Vía, the place to discover boutiques, tapas bars and theatres. A short walk away you’ll find inspiring museums such as Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofía. You can get a sense of the city’s history at Puerta de Alcalá, Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace. Then seek out one of Madrid’s parks – Campo del Moro and El Retiro are nearby.


Enjoy your stay!

Pau Guardans Independent Minds

Independent Minds: Pau Guardans

Born and bred in Barcelona, the rich cultural heritage of the Catalan capital runs in the blood of Pau Guardans, owner of Único Hotels. With a penchant for the Art Deco era, Guardans has carefully cultivated his own Spanish empire of reimagined early 20th century buildings in Barcelona and Madrid, which have been elegantly modernised whilst keeping the glamour of the roaring twenties very much alive. Taking a more serene step into Balearic island life with his latest venture in Mallorca, the Único Hotels portfolio is proving to be just as panoramic as its hotels’ views.

Chic central hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Principal. Entering on the ground floor and taking the lift to the reception on the 6th made for a unique arrival. The staff were all very friendly and approachable. We had a meal in Atico on our second night and the food was very enjoyable. Breakfast was great with Read more[SPLIT]Read lessa choice of continental and a la carte options. The terraces on the 6th and 7th floor were perfect for enjoying cocktails. Our room upgrade was appreciated. It was specious and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel is perfectly placed for all that Madrid has to offer. I was particularly impressed with the doorman (I'm really sorry I can't recall his name) who greeted me by name each day. I'd certainly recommend staying here.

Lovely Staff / Great Location

We stayed at the Principal in September. Great location perfectly placed for the old town in one direcion and the museums and high end shopping in the other direction. After Madrid we were moving on to Salamanca the home city of one of the concierge team who gave us lots of advice about where to eat Read more[SPLIT]Read lessand what to visit ...so its not only Madrid they can help with. We found all the staff very helpful and the hotel well maintained. I particularly enjoyed the sushi option on the roof terrace.
