Nestled like a whispered secret in Las Salesas, Urso Hotel & Spa emerges from its 1915 neoclassical shell—once the Papelera Española—its towers bathed in Madrid’s golden light and a stained-glass courtyard scattering rainbows across marble floors. Inside, seventy-nine rooms and nineteen suites cocoon you in oak-panelled warmth and damask drapes, while Nespresso aromas mingle with artisanal treats from the mercado at dawn. At La Querencia Spa, hammam steam, vitality pools and sensory showers turn each moment into tranquil poetry. Days drift by over gallery-inspired lunches and cocktails infused with sun-kissed herbs, then unfold into bespoke walks through hidden ateliers and lantern-lit tapas bars that reveal Madrid’s soulful heartbeat. Powered by solar-warmed waters and mindful partnerships with local foundations, Urso is more than a refuge—it is a living ode to Madrid’s authentic elegance and timeless enchantment.
