Madrid is gearing up for a busy 2026. The city will host the F1 Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madring street circuit in September, and a lineup of major concerts—including performances by Shakira, Pitbull, and The Weeknd—is drawing international crowds. But beyond the events, the Spanish capital is also refreshing its hospitality scene with several notable hotel openings this year.
From a private members' club in one of the city's most iconic buildings to a brand rooted in Tulum's bohemian spirit, here are the new places to stay in Madrid in 2026.
Club Metrópolis: Gran Vía's New Exclusive Retreat
Gran Vía is Madrid's most famous thoroughfare, and the Edificio Metrópolis—with its Beaux-Arts façade and distinctive dome—is arguably its most recognisable landmark. Since January, this historic building has been reborn as Club Metrópolis, a private members' club and hotel with just 19 rooms and suites. The boutique property is among the city's most exclusive accommodations.
For non-members, the hotel's dining options are accessible to outside guests. Spa de Langostas specialises in lobster dishes, while Tasca Fina offers a modern interpretation of the classic Spanish tavern. Barra de Oricios focuses on seafood. Members also have access to several private bars and restaurants, as well as a spa and gym.
Nômade Temple Madrid: Wellness and Vinyl
The Nômade Temple brand, originally from Tulum, opened its Madrid outpost this spring inside the historic Hotel de las Letras. Like its sister properties in Mexico and Ibiza, the 85-key hotel centres on wellness and music. Guests can visit the GÖN House of Healing for facials, massages, baths, and scrubs, and the facility includes a hammam and sauna. On the music side, Café Libre hosts vinyl sets every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening.
Urban Hive Madrid: Rooftop Views and Italian Fare
Urban Hive Madrid opened in April and boasts one of the city's best rooftop pools. Located on the seventh floor, the infinity pool features a striped floor and panoramic views of the Royal Palace, Gran Vía, and the Guadarrama mountains in the distance. The hotel has 144 rooms and suites, plus Gina Restaurant serving Italian cuisine—a nod to the original Urban Hive in Milan—and Gina Bar, where mixologists prepare cocktails and mocktails.
Nobu Hotel & Restaurant: A Culinary Destination
Set to open in September, Nobu Hotel Madrid will be the brand's fifth property. The main draw is the tri-level Nobu Restaurant, which spans a relaxed lounge on the ground floor, a show kitchen and dining room on the first floor, and an intimate eight-seat sushi bar on the third floor. The menu will feature chef Nobu Matsuhisa's signature dishes, including the famous miso black cod.
Madrid's hotel boom comes as the city prepares for a surge in visitors. The F1 Grand Prix alone is expected to draw tens of thousands, and the new properties offer a range of experiences—from exclusive luxury to wellness-focused stays. For travellers looking to combine a race weekend with a city break, these openings provide fresh options. And for those concerned about the region's environmental challenges, it's worth noting that a wildfire near Madrid earlier this year forced evacuations, underscoring the importance of sustainable tourism practices.
Whether you're in town for the Grand Prix, a concert, or simply to explore the city's cultural offerings, Madrid's 2026 hotel lineup offers something for every type of traveller.
