If you want to enjoy a very special stay in Madrid, definitely stay at the Urban hotel It is a great option.

In a hotel five stars You are assured of very good equipment and service, but if it also has the category of Great luxurySurely you expect something more, something that turns your stay into an experience to remember, but there are not that many hotels that you will find.

I recently had the opportunity to meet the Urban hotel, located in one of the most central locations you can imagine in Madrid, in the heart of San Jerónimo Race, almost in front of the Cortes building, and two steps from the Puerta del Sol.

What is the Urban Hotel in Madrid like?

What does it offer you special? Urban hotel? Without a doubt, its incredible decoration that combines a avant-garde design with ancient art, and that gives it the characteristics of Boutique hotel.

Indeed, as soon as you enter the lobby of the Urban hotelNext to the elevators, you will find an impressive figure that shows you the decorative style that will permeate all the rooms, including the rooms, and that gives the establishment a peculiar ethnic style.

Thus, you will be able to see ceremonial carvings of Papua New Guinea, but also bas-reliefs and funerary pieces of Egyptian pharaohs, statuettes Khmer in solid stone from the end of the 11th century, from the angkor temples, or Buddhist pieces from the time of the first Chinese emperors.

This true ancient art collection which is distributed throughout the rooms and rooms of the hotel, are the fruit of the archaeological passion of Jordi Clos, chain owner Derby to which the Urban de Madrid belongs, which marks the own style that characterizes the hotels of this Catalan chain, which also has hotels in Madrid, London y Paris.

Its greatest exponent at the Urban hotel is the small museum in a large room of the hotel, where pieces from the ancient world of great artistic value are displayed.

For example, a granite statue of the pharaoh Ramses III, from the 12th century BC, or a figure from the god Osiris of bronze and semi-precious stones, dating back to the 8th century BC

These artistic details contrast with the avant-garde style of the facilities.

In the central atrium of the hotel you can have a beer next to some enormous totems of Papua New Guinea, seeing the modern iron and glass structure through which the panoramic elevator ascends.

In the rooms, materials such as tropical woods Wenge, the leather headboards on the beds, or the tesserae of Trent, give them a very cozy atmosphere, and are combined with the integration of the bathroom in it, separated only by a transparent glass window.

The Urban hotel's offering also highlights its luxurious Europa Deco restaurant and its terrace with excellent views of the center of the capital.
