B&B Hotel Madrid Centro Puerta del Sol

This branch of the innovative French B&B chain reflects what you might call the Apple-ization of Puerta del Sol. Its precision-designed rooms have beds which float on a pool of colored light, bathrooms are a matte glass box, hallway lights sleep to save energy. Free coffee and tea are available 24 hours a day at what looks just like a tech company micro kitchen. There’s also a buzzy rooftop bar and restaurant, Doña Luz, which operates independently of the hotel. The only drawback is that the commotion outside is the same as it ever was, so bring noise-cancelling headphones.
