An intimate 44-room five-star boutique hotel in an early 20th-century mansion in the exclusive Salamanca district, with a beautiful private garden and the two-Michelin-starred Ramón Freixa Madrid restaurant. Perfect for a luxurious, low-key stay.
Hotel Único Madrid occupies a restored early 20th-century mansion at Calle de Claudio Coello 67 in Madrid's Salamanca district — one of the city's most prestigious residential and commercial neighbourhoods, known for its wide tree-lined boulevards, Haussmannian architecture, and concentration of luxury boutiques. The building's exterior retains its original period character while the interiors have been reimagined to create a sophisticated, contemporary environment across 44 rooms and suites — a size placing it firmly in the intimate boutique category and enabling a standard of personalised service rarely achievable in larger properties.
The hotel's private garden is a particular highlight: a rarity in central Madrid's dense urban fabric, it provides a tranquil green retreat for breakfast, afternoon drinks, or quiet relaxation away from the city's bustle. Rooms are individually designed with high-quality fabrics, bespoke furniture, and meticulously planned bathrooms; suites on upper floors command views over the neighbourhood's rooftops. Butler service is available for guests requiring a higher degree of personalised attention.
The hotel is home to Ramón Freixa Madrid, awarded two Michelin stars and consistently regarded as one of Spain's most creative fine dining restaurants. Chef Ramón Freixa's menus draw on Catalan culinary tradition while exploring contemporary techniques and presentation; the tasting menu experience, set within an elegant dining room, is one of Madrid's most sought-after reservations. A compact spa offers a focused range of treatments and the gym is well-equipped. Breakfast at Hotel Único is highly regarded and reflects the hotel's strong culinary credentials.
The Salamanca location places the hotel within easy walking distance of Calle Serrano and Calle Velázquez for high-end shopping, and the Retiro Park. The Serrano metro station (Line 4) is approximately three minutes on foot.
