With so many world-class museums, excellent shops and characterful neighbourhoods, it is hardly surprising that you cover a lot of ground during a day in Madrid – you clock up your 10,000 steps without even noticing it here, and even the best-laid plans tend to get forgotten after a couple of days as you slip into the swing of the city. Experienced visitors choose to stay in hotels with the best spas, where they can relax in hydrotherapy pools and indulge in restorative massages and beauty treatments to set them up for the city’s legendary nightlife. So don’t feel guilty about abandoning your cultural agenda, it just means you’re behaving like a true Madrileño, but do feel happy knowing that at the end of a busy day there’s a sumptous spa to soothe your tired soul. Here’s our pick of the best spa hotels in Madrid.
