Icon Wipton

Set in an extensively refurbished building in Madrid’s poshest neighborhood, the Wipton hums with well-bred luxury and efficiency. The color scheme is straight out of a high-end catalogue—cornflower blue, pastel grays, and moleskin—with hints of vintage aviation. The mid-sized rooms are the last word in comfort: vast beds, dark paneling, and slightly distressed beams. Junior suites have ultra-modern freestanding baths. The service and level of pampering is deluxe: free bike rentals, complimentary early evening wine. Children and pets are welcomed. Given the level of comfort and the distinguished address, prices are often surprisingly reasonable. Overall though, the Wipton offers one of Madrid’s most comfortable nights—a great place to de-stress on a business trip or for a blow-out family shopping treat.
