TÓTEM Madrid

A cosmopolitan hub in Madrid's Golden Mile heart

Infused with the spirit of new Madrid, TÓTEM feels a little like stepping inside a private members’ club. There’s a sense of heritage in the wooden panelling and parquet floors in many of the luxury rooms. But this is a modern design hotel through and through, with contemporary furnishings and works of art at every turn.

A dark, edgy colour palette downstairs and crisp, white colour schemes in the bedrooms introduce TÓTEM’s sense of style. This style carries through into the hotel's bar and restaurant. Sit back and savour fine dining in the Mediterranean restaurant, La Parrilla del Pimiento Verde. Then finish the evening with a signature cocktail in the bar where you will be sure to find the city’s in-crowd.

Much of what’s on your sightseeing hit-list will be moments from TÓTEM. This city break retreat is in Barrio Salamanca, an exclusive address that puts the likes of Tiffany & Co and Manolo Blahnik on your doorstep. Escape into Parque del Retiro – or step it up and have the hotel personal trainer lead you around it. Be sure to squeeze in some art galleries and museums, too. The ‘golden triangle’ of Reina Sofia, Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza are an excellent starting point.


Enjoy your stay!

Boutique hotel in great neighborhood

We enjoyed the quiet shopping streets in the area around the hotel.

Great Hotel in the heart of chic Barrio Salamanca

Great location in the heart of Barrio Salamanca, the chic and Tony neighborhood in Madrid. All the best shops are a stroll away. Excellent service from all the staff.

Small friendly hotel in excellent location

I only stayed for one night, but this is definitely a hotel I would return to. Even in these strange times, the welcome was relaxed, and the limo service they offered from the airport was well organised and the driver was great for getting some tips on the way to the hotel. The location is excellent Read more[SPLIT]Read lessfor some good shopping in the high end boutiques in the surrounding streets, with Parc Retiro only a few minutes walk away. The rooms are compact, but offer all you could need for a city break. I found the bed comfortable, and the room was not too noisy for a city centre location. The bathroom was very nicely appointed too. Breakfast was a leisurely affair, with decent portion sizes, and no rush to move you on...

The hotel is in a quiet location about 20 minute walk from the centre but easily accessible by Madrid’s excellent Metro trains.
