H10 Villa de la Reina, Madrid

4.6 (10 reviews) · Upscale
Charming boutique hotel with French-inspired design, elegant rooms, an on-site restaurant and bar, and a central location

Overview

H10 Villa de la Reina is an elegant boutique hotel set in a grand, early 20th-century building on Madrid's buzzy Gran Vía, a short stroll away from Puerta del Sol, Plaza Mayor, and the three renowned museums that make up the Golden Triangle of Art. French-style interiors blend classic elements—high ceilings and wainscotting—with modern comforts; some rooms even come with private terraces or balconies that overlook the lively thoroughfare. There's a breakfast buffet served at Las Infantas Restaurant, and guests can also unwind at La Villa Bar. Other perks include fireside seating and a library in the lobby.

Kimkim's Take

Pros
  • H10 Villa de la Reina inhabits a prime location on Gran Vía, within a 15-minute walk of the Prado, Puerta del Sol, and Plaza Mayor.
  • Residing in a beautifully renovated early 20th-century building, you'll get to enjoy traditional flourishes inspired by French and Middle Eastern design.
  • Some rooms have furnished private terraces with city views of Gran Vía, and one room option's terrace (the Suite Terrace Jacuzzi) has a recessed hot tub.
  • After selecting a book from the lobby library and a drink from its La Villa bar, you can cozy up by the fire.
  • Breakfast (not included) caters to those with dietary restrictions, including gluten-free and vegan alternatives.
  • Families are welcome, with rooms accommodating up to four and cribs available upon request.
Cons
  • While some guests note that the Basic Room option is compact, this isn't out of the ordinary for Europe hotels.
  • You won't find on-site parking, but the hotel's central location means public transit options, including the Gran Vía subway station, are conveniently close, making it easy to explore the city without a car.

Authenticity

Boutique Villa de la Reina, while part of the H10 chain of hotels (originating in Barcelona), retains its historic character. It occupies an early 20th-century building that was once a bank. The hotel blends classic and contemporary styles with French and Middle Eastern design influences following a 2015 renovation. You'll find granite columns and plush red carpet overlaying marble floors, Moorish lanterns, blue ceramic urns, and an ornately decorated ceiling throughout the lobby. Then there's the original marble staircase and a traditional wire-cage elevator that add to the building's historic charm, as well as the in-house restaurant, Las Infantas Restaurant, serving up Spanish fare, including crowd-favorite churros con chocolate.

Location

Located on 100-year-old Gran Vía, the capital's busiest street, H10 Villa de la Reina is centrally positioned for exploring. You'll be within a 10-minute walk of Puerta del Sol, Plaza de Cibeles, and Plaza Mayor. The hotel is also close to the lively Chueca and Las Letras neighborhoods, providing plenty of shopping, dining, and nightlife options. No rental? No problem. You're steps away from the Gran Vía metro station and bus stop for easy access to other parts of the city. The hotel's central position offers convenient access to the Golden Triangle of Art, which includes the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía museums, all reachable within 20 minutes on foot. There isn't any parking available.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms at H10 Villa de la Reina combine period charm with modern comfort. They feature high ceilings, traditional wainscoting, antique-style furnishings, and refreshing white and blue decor. The vibe is cozy and inviting, with quirky art and large windows offering city or courtyard views. Accommodation options range from the compact Basic Room (that faces a side street) to the spacious Suite Terrace Jacuzzi, which is outfitted with sun loungers and a jetted hot tub that overlooks Gran Vía. Bathrooms come with spacious walk-in rainfall showers, exclusive Rituals products, and spacious marble counters with vintage-style taps.

Amenities

Although the hotel doesn't have a swimming pool or spa, it does feature a sophisticated lobby area with La Villa Bar and a well-stocked library complete with a cozy reading space. The bar provides a relaxed setting for enjoying drinks and light dishes, often accompanied by live music, while Las Infantas Restaurant serves a buffet breakfast (for a surcharge) with a spread of meats, cheeses, pastries, cereals, eggs, and pancakes.

Family-Friendliness

H10 Villa de la Reina welcomes families, providing cribs for children under two at no extra charge. Although no specific children's activities exist, the hotel's Deluxe, Grand Deluxe, and Junior Suite rooms accommodate up to three people (not including the use of a crib), and rooms with terraces offer more space for families to relax. Larger families may need to book multiple rooms, as interconnecting options aren't available.

Front desk and bar staff were super nice. My mom lost her mobile phone in the taxi so we needed help making contacts. Front desk and bar staff helped us making calls and texts patiently, were very warm and welcoming. My sons loved the gummies at the lobby. Breakfast had a good variety. Read more
