Hot Spots in Madrid: The Rooftop Pool and Art Collection at the Hotel Urban

As far as urban design hotels go, the Hotel Urban ups the cool factor in Madrid. The dining outlets are proof enough of the hotel's hipness: La Terraza del Urban is the ultimate spot for cocktails under the stars, and the Glass Bar is-- as its name suggests-- an oyster bar surrounded by glass. Bedrooms are likewise sophisticated, distinguished by minimalist design and unique art pieces. The hotel's art collection gets rave reviews, in a city known for its museum masterpieces. In fact, the Hotel Urban itself is a work of art-- a celebration of architecture and avant-garde design. Besides the rooftop pool, the best part of a stay here is the affordable price. You can snag a room for less than EUR 160 per night.
