The Edition, Madrid
The Madrid EDITION, envisioned by Ian Schrager, is a sophisticated urban resort located in the heart of the city at Plaza de Celenque. The property is a fascinating blend of architectural styles, featuring a modern, clean-lined structure that incorporates a salvaged 18th-century Baroque portal originally designed by Pedro de Ribera. This unique juxtaposition of historical preservation and sleek, contemporary design defines its character.
The interiors represent a creative collision between the minimalist, refined aesthetic of British architect John Pawson and the more expressive, artistic style of Paris-based designer François Champsaur. Highlights include a dramatic sculptural spiral staircase and a pool table meticulously carved from a single slab of white marble. The lobby serves as a striking centerpiece, balancing light and shadow with rich, dark-fired oak elements.
Perched on the fourth floor, the hotel boasts the city’s largest rooftop infinity pool. It serves as an urban oasis, offering guests panoramic views of Madrid’s iconic red-tiled rooftops, especially at sunset. The hotel’s dining scene is equally compelling, featuring vibrant concepts like the greenery-filled Oroya, which celebrates the cultural and culinary connections between Spain and Peru.
The location is exceptionally central, sitting just steps away from Puerta del Sol and the “Kilometre Zero” marker of Spain. You are also within an easy stroll of the “Golden Triangle of Art,” comprising the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums, making it an ideal home base for those looking to immerse themselves in Madrid’s world-class culture.
Expert reviews
“The new EDITION is plainly the cherry on the cake – or the prawn on the paella. The drama of the building – cunningly repurposed from a boxy modern former bank HQ on the old-town Plaza de Celenque – begins with the ornate 18th-century granite doorway by Pedro de Rivera and continues into a vast spiral staircase in pearly-white stone, curving spectacularly upwards like a giant seashell.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Hotlist 2023.
“With 200 guest rooms and suites, five restaurants and bars, a rooftop pool, a gym, a spa and a terrace, there’s something at The Madrid EDITION for everyone. But mainly, it’s for the kind of person who loves artistic surprises around every corner.”
“A fabulous addition to Madrid’s ever more competitive hotel scene, complete with a showstopping rooftop pool. Top-tier Mexican and Peruvian restaurants in gorgeous bold, bright colours provide a Latin flair, while elsewhere the vibe is signature all-white retro-modern glam.”

the Edition is a unique and deservedly 5 star hotel experience.
You either get Edition or you don't, it's an acquired taste, not for everybody. And thanks to the friendly staff, quality food, location, service, cleanliness and of course, careful architecture and design, the Edition is a unique and deservedly 5 star hotel experience.
Sometimes at The Edition, we get a shitty view out the window. London and Barcelona views were disappointing. Madrid, not at all.

Stylish hotel in a great location
The room is spacious and nicely decorated. Also, the Le Labo amenities are blessing.
We waited for almost 2 hrs from the supposed check-in time. The room took ages to get ready.

We love this hotel!!!
The whole staff was so kind, helpful and professional, especially German helped us a lot with very good eating and city tips, he is a great concierge!!!.
The service of the room was excellent, we loved also that they provide you from the beginning with enough towels. Of course the smell of the edition is worldwide the same and we looove it.
The location could not be better, in the middle of the center, lots of shops and restaurant…

great location, staff are very welcoming and friendly
i liked that the hotel added handheld bidet in the toilet, this is a huge plus for us as a middle east arab tourist, since it is very important for us. but the pressure of the water can be bit less, since it is very strong.
i have already informed one of the staff member in the reception regarding my comment and he made sure that he will inform the management regarding that, my comment was on the glass door exist, that leads to the back area of the hotel, not the main entrance. during my stay, i saw 3 incidences of people bumping the door thinking its open, since there is no a sticker on the door that shows it is close, so people can be aware before passing or bumping it.

Get Pampered. Seriously!
Nestled in the heart of Madrid, The Madrid Edition is a true gem for travelers seeking a perfect balance of luxury and location. Its prime spot in the city center makes it an ideal base for exploring Madrid’s renowned attractions, bustling shops, and vibrant dining scene.
The hotel itself is an oasis of modern elegance, with a welcoming atmosphere that feels both chic and relaxing. The amenities are first-rate, from the sophisticated lobby bar to the market-inspired restaurant and impeccably designed rooms that provide a quiet escape from the lively city outside.
What truly sets The Madrid Edition apart, however, is its service. The front office staff are exceptional, making every guest feel valued with their professionalism and willingness to assist. Room service was equally impressive, with prompt delivery and attention to detail that elevated the overall experience.
Although parking is a bit of a challenge, the experience more than made up for it. My stay was initially for business, but I extended into the weekend to enjoy everything Madrid has to offer. It was a fabulous decision and one of the most memorable hotel experiences I’ve had.
I highly recommend The Madrid Edition for anyone visiting Madrid—whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely nothing!
