Featuring three signature dining venues, well-appointed spaces
with curated design elements and architecture evocative of Madrid's
rich heritage, Thompson Madrid truly 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 gastronomy.
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 and is a dynamic and refined home base
for guests to explore the authentic character of the city. The
buzzing neighborhoods of Malasaña, Chueca, and Madrid’s historic
city center are within walking distance of the hotel, and a diverse
selection of galleries, museums, culinary delights, and cultural
landmarks are on every corner.
“We are excited to welcome guests to Thompson Madrid and invite
them to immerse themselves into the culture of the city, which can
be found inside and outside the walls of the hotel,” said Carlos
Erburu Zazpe, general manager of Thompson Madrid. “Inspired by
Madrid’s nearby “kilometer Zero,” which marks the spot all
distances in Spain are measured from, all journeys start in Madrid
and all authentic Madrilenian experiences for our guests begin in
Thompson Madrid.”
Stylish Design
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.
Evocative and warm details run throughout the hotel’s guestrooms
and suites, where floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces
invite guests to absorb the city’s ambience. A signature penthouse
suite encompasses two stories and offers stylish and spacious
living and dining areas, a bespoke bar and an expansive and
enviable private balcony that boasts panoramic views of Madrid.
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. With this motto in mind and leaning into the Thompson
Hotel’s Culture Lives Here platform that celebrates the brand’s
passion for elevating noteworthy creatives, the hotel is
collaborating 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, reinforcing
the message that culture lives within Thompson Madrid’s walls.
- 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 to Thompson Madrid. 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 zucchini, 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
in key areas of the hotel.
Signature Food and Drink
Thompson Madrid’s three signature dining venues celebrate the
passionate heritage of the city’s gastronomy.
The hotel’s all-day bakery and bistro, located at street level
and open to guests and visitors, The Omar, merges
mid-century modernism with industrial open plan spaces, inviting
guests to sample artisanal patisserie and seasonal, light
bites.
While taking in a unique view of Madrid’s landscape from above,
guests can discover authentic cuisine and carefully crafted
cocktails at Thompson Madrid Rooftop. Alongside the
panoramic city views, guests can also enjoy the ambience and beauty
of the nearby infinity pool.
When the fiesta spirit takes over, guests, visitants and
tourists can follow the whispers to a hidden speakeasy style bar,
Hijos de Tomás, which is planned to open this fall. This
upscale and intentionally intimate drinking den offers an inventive
cocktail menu and live piano music to ease visitors into the
evening.
Encounter an event space like no other with Thompson Madrid’s
six individual venues. Each space is designed to encourage creative
thinking and connection, featuring contemporary, locally influenced
interiors evoking the inspiring spirit of Madrid. With capacity for
up to 321 guests, delicious food and beverage and state-of-the-art
tech amenities, the hotel’s collection of venues is an exciting
option for any kind of event, from social gatherings to a bustling
business function.
Enriching Amenities
Discover an urban wellbeing oasis on Thompson Madrid’s rooftop,
where guests can unwind and lounge in or around the glittering
outdoor infinity pool that features a hydromassage system, set
against a backdrop of Madrid’s unrivalled skyline.
An open-air courtyard, hilltop residential-style bar and
destination day club provide further opulent spaces from which
guests can soak up the atmosphere, alongside a 24-hour boutique
fitness center that incorporates the latest, cutting-edge
equipment.
As well as providing the expected amenities of luxury hotel
living, Thompson Madrid is positioned as a cultural institution and
offers guests exclusive access to experiences across the city,
including tours, art exhibitions and concerts.
Thompson Madrid will mark the third Hyatt-branded hotel in the
city joining Hyatt Centric Gran Via Madrid and Hyatt Regency
Hesperia Madrid, and the second Thompson Hotels branded property in
Europe will soon join with Thompson Vienna slated to open in
2024.
The term “Hyatt” is used in this release for convenience to

affiliates.
