The Spanish capital’s most exclusive accommodations, the Penthouses at Ian Schrager’s The Madrid EDITION, offer two of the largest suites in the city with expansive terraces and infinity pools.
On the top floor of Ian Schrager’s urban resort, The Madrid EDITION, in a prime spot with west-facing sunset views, sit two of the largest and most exclusive Penthouses in the capital.
Providing the ultimate urban sanctuaries to the world’s most discerning guests, the Madrid Penthouse and the Opera Penthouse are each arranged across two floors with glorious views of some of Madrid’s most prominent architectural landmarks from the bedrooms on the upper floor and the lower floors featuring entertaining spaces designed by John Pawson and François Champsaur under the watchful eye of Ian Schrager, and butler’s kitchens. The dark oak-panelled entrances leads to light-filled muted palettes of whites and creams, alongside custom-made furnishings and natural textures of linen, limestone and timber. Together, this forms an honest and discreet canvas for sophisticated furnishings, rich details and creative flourishes like the dramatic backlit bed headboards, which have been custom made in plaster and takes its cues from the elaborate shape of the hotel’s baroque portal. “I am very proud of this project. Not a single detail has been overlooked and the finished product has created a unique and magical concept that will be unrivalled in the city” says Schrager.
The Madrid Penthouse is a sprawling 460sqm private residence perched above the city’s rooftops with an unrivalled panoramic terrace and a private outdoor infinity pool surrounded by lush greenery and views of Madrid’s historic city center, the Gran Via most iconic building Plaza España and Plaza de Las Descalzas. The refined interiors are rich with natural textures and elegant furnishings like the leather and wood daybed by lifestyle brand BassamFellows and a large eight-seat travertine marble dining table with lacquered metal feet. This penthouse can be combined with an adjoining suite to create a two bedroom private enclave. The master bedroom features a stunning walk-in-wardrobe for those travelling in style with a backdrop of picture perfect views of the city.
The Opera Penthouse is arranged across a generous 289sqm and can be combined with two adjoining suites to offer a three-bedroom city escape. Like the Madrid Penthouse, the Opera Penthouse also offers private access to a secluded terrace and infinity pool, with alluring breathtaking skyline views of the city including architectural landmark Palacio Real, Teatro Real.
A heady mix of powerful architecture, refined culture, impressive art, a rich culinary history and an insatiable love of the good life has made Madrid one of the most captivating and alluring cities in the world. The arrival of the EDITION brand further boosts the Spanish capital’s attraction with a refined offering that encapsulates the city’s beguiling individuality and essence.
The Madrid EDITION opened in March 2022 and is the city’s first luxury lifestyle urban resort. It embraces Schrager’s vision and ethos for an understated elegance while showcasing the innovative and elevated experience, ethos and exceptional luxury service that the EDITION brand is known for with two restaurants, each helmed by a world-class, award-winning chef, three unique bar concepts, exciting nightlife and entertainment, a magnificent outdoor pool located on the rooftop with jaw dropping views of Madrid’s cityscape, a wellness and spa facility, and a series of spectacular meeting and event spaces drenched in natural light.
True to form, Schrager has worked his magic and pulled out all the stops with a meticulously crafted concept that brings a true sense of individuality to the hotel. It features recognised culinary concepts by chef partners Enrique Olvera, whose restaurant Pujol is one of the top ten World’s 50 Best Restaurants and Diego Muñoz, who led acclaimed restaurant Astrid Y Gaston in Lima to victory as the best Latin American restaurant in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. Two world class great chefs like that in the same hotel is absolutely unprecedented. There is also a unique specialty cocktail bar, Lobby Bar, and a concept on the rooftop terrace that remains unrivalled in Spain. On the lower ground floor, the Spa boasts a fully equipped gym and wellness facility, a cosy and intimate space clad in dark timber and embellished with antique baroque candelabras. There are five treatment rooms, one with a private steam suite, alongside treatment menu that includes the signature mud bath, using products from Spanish brand Natura Bissé.
