Fodor's Expert Review Room Mate Macarena

A newer addition to the Room Mate chain, Macarena opened in 2020 smack on the Gran Vía thoroughfare. The decor is colorful, textural, and geometric with bold wall tones, patterned tile floors, and undulating ceiling panels in public spaces; guest rooms, on the other hand, vary widely in design and hinge on monochrome color schemes (e.g., royal blue, flamingo pink, emerald green) that make a statement. The crown jewel is the rooftop terrace complete with a cocktail bar, sundeck, and swimming pool.
