Culture inspired Thompson Madrid brings design and culinary flair to the Spanish capital

Posted on

A new standard for modern luxe stays comes to the Spanish capital in the form of the 175-room Thompson Madrid. The hotel blends curated style and global sophistication with an authentic Madrilenian flair, delivering an exciting destination for culturally astute travelers looking to immerse themselves within the vibrant Spanish capital.

Three signature dining venues, well-appointed spaces with curated design elements and architecture evocative of Madrid’s rich heritage, Thompson Madrid embodies the identity of its location. Guests are invited to experience all that the city has to offer through creative spaces, unapologetically bold interiors and elevated gastronomical moments.

Located on Calle De La Montera, which connects the city’s famed main square, Puerta del Sol, to the theaters, cinemas, and boutiques of the lively Gran Via Street, Thompson Madrid is housed in two historic buildings. It allows guests to explore the authentic character of the city, with the buzzing neighborhoods of Malasaña, Chueca, and Madrid’s historic city center within walking distance. And a diverse selection of galleries, museums, culinary delights, and cultural landmarks at every corner.

The hotel’s rich design is reflective of traditional architecture found across Madrid while embodying Thompson Hotels’ recognizable sense of a contemporary, elevated residence. Madrid-based López y Tena, LYTA Interior Design & Arquitecture Studio created interiors that echo the sights, sounds and flavors of the city. Leather, marble and wood accents are elegantly layered to contribute to the sense of timeless design, integrated with ultramodern and sophisticated amenities. The result is a refined escape that remains rooted in its surroundings.

Inspired Design. Evocative and warm details run throughout the guestrooms and suites, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces. A signature penthouse suite encompasses two stories and offers stylish and spacious living and dining areas, a bespoke bar and an enviable private balcony offering panoramic views of Madrid city.

Culture Lives Here. As an artistic epicenter, Thompson Madrid honors the transformative energy of its local culture. ‘Con la cultura por Montera’ the hotel’s motto, celebrates the dynamic impact that design, music, art, fashion and gastronomy have on Madrid, affirming Calle De La Montera as the heart of the city’s creative community. Thompson Hotel’s ‘Culture Lives Here’ platform celebrates the brand’s passion for elevating noteworthy creatives and collaborations with exciting culture shifters to express their meaningful impact on Madrid’s culture.

  • Nicolás Villamizar, known locally as ‘Ä’, is renowned for his organic and avant-garde compositions that are inspired by Renaissance paintings. He will be creating exclusive pieces of artwork for Thompson Madrid inspired by the city and the hotel including pieces of art adorned across the property, as well as a limited-edition map given to guests at check-in.
  • Additionally, fourth generation Chef Nino Redruello serves as the property’s culinary culture shifter, bringing the perfect combination of traditional Spanish offerings with an innovative twist. Through Chef Nino, the property will deliver the art of gastronomy, reflecting a daring and unconventional experience through dishes including sour soup with grilled crab and zuchinni, sole with black garlic menier and mushrooms and baked quail in bread crust.
  •  OTEYZA, the local contemporary sartorial couture brand that is deeply rooted in Madrid´s cultural and fashion community, will extend the Culture Lives Here platform into Europe by bringing their Spanish craftsmanship to Thompson Madrid. This joint effort will bring the modern Madrileño spirit to life from within the property as a selected number of their one-of-a-kind hand-made pieces specially designed for the hotel will be displayed within the premises. 

Signature Culinary moments. The three signature dining venues celebrate the passionate heritage of the city’s gastronomy. All-day bakery and bistro, The Omar, merges mid-century modernism with industrial open plan spaces, inviting guests to sample artisanal patisserie and seasonal light bites. 

Guests can discover authentic cuisine and carefully crafted cocktails at Thompson Madrid Rooftop while taking in a panoramic view of Madrid’s landscape from above, and soaking in the beauty of the infinity pool.

A hidden speakeasy style bar, Hijos de Tomás will open this fall. The upscale intimate drinking den will offer an inventive cocktail menu and live piano music to ease visitors into the evening.
