Review
One of Madrid’s chicest boutique hotels, the 44-room Hotel Unico sits in the heart of Salamanca on one of the city’s best shopping streets in a restored 19th century palace not . The beautiful bones of the building are emphasized in the entry courtyard area. Although there is no central lobby, there is a cozy library and small breakfast room.
The rooms are comfortably outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, wood paneling and a neutral color scheme, with marble-tiled, modern bathrooms. The hotel offers a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, Ramon Freixa, which serves inventive Spanish cuisine in a bright, airy setting that melds contemporary design with the palace's original architecture (we love the terrace seating overlooking the hotel's landscaped garden). Room service is available around the clock and there is a small gym with fitness classes offered for those who want to maintain their fitness routine while away. The hotel spa has just one treatment room, and beauty services can be arranged.
Who Should Stay
Hotel Unico is best for those seeking a reasonably-priced, stylish and modern option with privacy in Salamanca.
