For foodie couples, there's no better place to stay than Hotel Único, whose two-Michelin-star Ramón Freixa Madrid bends the palate with unexpected flavors and textures. We love its location, too, tucked away on a quiet side street in the posh tree-lined district of Salamanca.

You may not be steps from Madrid’s main attractions at Tótem, but you’ll thank yourself later: Getting ever so slightly off the tourist track and experiencing a true-blue Madrileño neighborhood will show you an intimate side of the city that most vacationers don’t get to appreciate, and you'll love the arm-in-arm walks in nearby Retiro Park. Inside the hotel, there’s lots to love as well, from the sleek yet comfortable rooms, to the attentive service, to the standout bar and restaurant on the ground floor.

A hip, vibrant hotel off the bustling Gran Vía thoroughfare, Hotel Índigo is best known for its stunning rooftop lounge and outdoor infinity pool, rare features in Madrid that make this property honeymoon material.

Only You has all the perks of a boutique luxury hotel—intimate bar, impeccable décor, a 24-hour gym—but remains understated and comfortable at its core. If your budget permits a premium room, go for it; unlike the deluxe rooms, they face the street, have balconies, and are awash with natural light. All suites feature fireplaces, an uncommon cold-weather perk ideal for snuggly nights.

ME Madrid feels young and current in an unforced, unaffected way—in a word, it's fun. Overflowing minibars go beyond the usual snacks and nips to include cashmere socks (€65), Agent Provocateur thongs (€39), and sensual massage candles (by Lelo, €22). But you don't need to pony up any extra cash to experience ME Madrid's most memorable perk, its cloudlike bedding that envelops you like a soft cocoon.
