A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Nestled in Madrid’s distinguished Chamberí district, just a short stroll from the iconic Museo del Prado, Relais & Châteaux Orfila offers an exclusive escape for discerning travelers. Housed in a lovingly restored 19th-century mansion dating back to 1886, the property radiates old-world charm with its marble floors, curated antiques, and tranquil garden courtyard. Once renowned as a venue for avant-garde theatre in the 1920s, the hotel now captivates guests with its refined ambiance and impeccable service.
The lush patio, adorned with seasonal blooms, is a coveted spot for al fresco dining beneath the Madrid sky, while the elegant tearoom evokes the sophistication of an English manor. As a proud member of the Relais & Châteaux collection, this family-owned boutique hotel features just 32 guest rooms, including 12 individually styled suites. Each space is thoughtfully designed with classic Spanish elegance—think plush floral upholstery, period furnishings, and a calming palette of soft greens, warm rusts, and creamy ivories.
Throughout the property, guests will discover original artworks from the owners’ private collection, adding to the hotel’s gallery-like feel. During our recent stay, we appreciated the attention to detail, such as the nightly turndown service complete with restorative foot gel—ideal after a day exploring Madrid’s vibrant neighborhoods. Culinary excellence is assured at Jardín de Orfila, the hotel’s signature restaurant, helmed by acclaimed chef Mario Sandoval (recipient of two Michelin stars at Restaurant Coque). Open daily for lunch and dinner, Jardín de Orfila is celebrated for its romantic terrace seating and innovative Spanish cuisine, making it one of Madrid’s most sought-after dining experiences.
