InterContinental Madrid

About InterContinental Madrid

Sunday brunch turns InterContinental Madrid’s marble-lined lobby into a gathering place for Madrileños and travelers, with live music and a buffet ranging from Iberian cold cuts to paella. That sociable spirit gives this 302-room hotel on Paseo de la Castellana much of its character. Opened in 1953, it carries its grand-hotel style through generous public spaces and the Art Deco–inspired Bar 49, where sofas invite a pause over Spanish wine or a cocktail. El Jardín restaurant, enclosed by glass walls and a glass ceiling, serves Spanish and international cooking; its seasonal garden terrace adds an outdoor setting for tapas. The result is a hotel with reasons to linger between outings into Madrid.

Why Celebrities Love InterContinental Madrid

The marble lobby supplies the grandeur, but El Jardin's terrace may be the more useful pleasure on a sociable visit: tapas and sharing plates encourage an unhurried meal among greenery and fountains. For guests accustomed to tightly scheduled appearances, that informal outdoor setting has an appeal of its own.
