Mario Room Mate

Madrid


Entering this swanky boutique hotel is like crossing the threshold of Madrid’s latest nightclub, with staff dressed in all black, black walls and swirls of red lighting in the lobby. Rooms can be small, but have high ceilings, simple furniture and light tones contrasting smoothly with muted colours and dark surfaces. Some rooms are pristine white; others have splashes of colour with zany murals.
