Hotel Orfila
Hotel Orfila is a 32-room Relais & Châteaux retreat inside a 19th-century palace, with individually furnished rooms, a secluded garden and one of Madrid’s most residential luxury atmospheres.
Hotel Orfila occupies a small 19th-century palace in Madrid’s Chamberí district, positioned between the center and Salamanca. The street is quiet and residential, yet the Prado, Colón and major shopping areas remain within easy reach.
With only 32 rooms, the hotel feels closer to a private house than a conventional five-star property. Each room has a different layout and mixes period furniture, textiles and decorative objects with modern comfort.
The internal garden is the hotel’s great luxury. It creates a green, surprisingly secluded setting for breakfast, drinks or an unhurried afternoon, and gives the property a sense of space that its intimate urban footprint would not suggest.
El Jardín de Orfila extends that atmosphere into the dining experience, with menus overseen by acclaimed chef Mario Sandoval and tables that spill toward the garden in suitable weather.
Orfila is best for travelers who prefer character and quiet over spectacle. It offers the service standards of a serious luxury hotel while preserving the scale and idiosyncrasy of a Madrid residence.
