Tucked in the heart of Madrid, just steps from the Gran Via and all the most vibey restaurants, galleries and artisanal shops of Malasaña, 7 Islas is not at all as isolated as the name may suggest. It is, though, a fantastic and ultra-stylish oasis of comfort and relaxation to call Home between one urban adventure and the next.

Owned and run by a trio of dynamic sisters, who appointed the highly acclaimed Kikekeller Studio for the interiors, 7Islas offers the perfect mix of warm hospitality, state-of-the-art design and local craftsmanship. And talking about “mixology”…7 Islas’ signature spirits, distilled from seasonal herbs and fruits, are alone a heavenly temptation to indulge in the hotel a bit longer, maybe while enjoying the temporary exhibitions by local artists hosted in the communal spaces.

The 79 rooms all enjoy a minimal-chic design with sandy tones, handcrafted furniture and pampering touches such as organic Malin + Goetz toiletries, yoga mats and deliciously natural snacks in the minibar. For the ultimate experience look no further than the Penthouses on the last floor: drinks at sunset on the terrace, with spectacular views over the city, are what holiday dreams are made of.

Healthy breakfasts are served every morning, but you can keep your belly full and happy throughout the day at 7 Islas with the fresh, seasonal bites created by Chef Xabier Guitart and his team. And when the time comes to go explore, make sure to stop by the front desk and ask some insider tips to the staff – you’ll get an immediate hint on Madrileñan friendliness, passion and genuine hospitality.
