Gran Hotel Inglés

Gran Hotel Inglés, the oldest hotel in Madrid in the Barrio de las Letras

The Gran Hotel Inglés is a luxury boutique hotel located in the Barrio de las Letras, in the center of Madrid. The company itself presents it as the oldest hotel in the city, a building built in 1883 that was the first in Madrid to have a restaurant and one of the first to have electric lighting. Its rehabilitation, completed with the Rockwell Group studio, has returned an Art Deco character that defines both its spaces and its atmosphere.

The hotel is defined as an icon of Madrid and places its location in the most genuine area of the city, between taverns, Puerta del Sol and the meetings of the Plaza de Santa Ana. The proposal combines history, design and an hotel experience designed for the traveler who seeks luxury and authenticity in the center of Madrid.

Accommodation: Art Deco style suites and rooms

The offer of accommodation is divided into two categories. The suites are presented as authentic private residences in the heart of Madrid, while the rooms are described as intimate spaces with style and personality. In both cases, the Art Deco design and the renovation of the building mark the stay.

Contemporary Madrid cooking

The gastronomy of the Gran Hotel Inglés reinterprets the Madrid tradition with a contemporary look. The cuisine, defined by the hotel itself as a contemporary castiza cuisine, starts with traditional recipes and elevates it by means of the product, technique and respect for the origin, with seasonal produce from local suppliers.

The LobByto restaurant is the main space of this proposal. Its menu includes reinterpreted Madrid recipes and a Madrid-style cocido served in three acts, with stews, starters and desserts. The venue is presented as a stage where Art Deco, jazz and design accompany the gastronomic experience.

The hotel's cocktail bar has the Best Cocktail Bar Menu 2024 recognition. Its menu combines reinterpreted classics and own creations inspired by Madrid, its history and contemporary lifestyle.
