Relais & Châteaux Hotel Orfila, the art of living Madrid
Just minutes from the Prado Museum and masterpieces by Velázquez, Goya, El Bosco, El Greco, Titian and Rubens, Orfila has a masterpiece of its own: a remarkable garden in the heart of Madrid.
A distinguished 1886 townhouse, Hotel Orfila is one of those rare addresses that seem to exist beyond the passage of time. A boutique hotel in Madrid where elegance is expressed without artifice, among period furniture, marble, works of art and delicate trompe-l’œil details that unfold throughout the courtyard.
A member of Relais & Châteaux, this five-star boutique hotel in Madrid understands luxury through intimacy, beauty and attentive, discreet hospitality. A maison with a personality of its own, created for those who find true privilege in the details and in the pleasure of feeling genuinely cared for.
In the heart of Madrid, five minutes from the Prado Museum, where the work of El Bosco is exhibited, as well as canvases by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Raphael, Titian and Rubens, another Garden of Earthly Delights awaits you.
At the Hotel Orfila, a palace built in 1886, you will feel like you are in an art gallery, thanks to its period furniture, its marbles and the superb trompe-l’oeil of the patio full of plants.
Redesigned by Spanish interior designer Lorenzo Castillo, Orfila’s rooms and suites retain the charm of this 19th-century townhouse through colour, fabrics, antiques and a carefully considered blend of eras. Each has a personality of its own, making every stay distinctive.
GASTRONOMIC EXPERIENCE
EL JARDÍN DE ORFILA
Beyond Orfila’s façade lies one of the most enchanting spaces in the house. A lush garden dotted with flowers, beautifully set tables and secluded corners among the greenery, where the light changes throughout the day and every season brings a different atmosphere. Morning light accompanies breakfast, lunches and after-dinner conversations linger among the foliage, and as evening falls, the tables take on a more intimate character.
The garden lends its name to the restaurant – El Jardín de Orfila – and is inseparable from its approach to gastronomy. Here, beauty is found in the details: in the walk to the table, in the flowers, in the sound of the fountain and in the delightful feeling of being somewhere peaceful in the heart of Madrid.
The cuisine bears the signature of two-Michelin-starred chef Mario Sandoval, drawing its inspiration from produce, the seasons and Spain’s culinary heritage. Familiar ingredients, flavours rooted in memory and precise technique come together in a cuisine that looks to tradition with curiosity and brings it into the present.
El Jardín de Orfila is one of those Madrid addresses that brings together life’s simple pleasures: a good table, a garden full of life and the time to savour them.
THE SAVOIR-FAIRE OF WELCOMING IN MADRID
ORFILA, A MADRILENIAN MAISON FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS
The character of a traditional Madrid residence gives events at this hotel in Chamberí an especially intimate quality. Rooms opening onto the garden, natural light, works of art, antiques and corners that retain the scale and warmth of a private home create the setting; gastronomy under the direction of Mario Sandoval, flowers and thoughtful service from the first guest to the last bring it all together.
The team takes care of every occasion from the earliest preparations onwards, from the table and menu to the timing and those small details that speak of the people hosting. At Orfila, celebrating is also a way of welcoming.
At Orfila, we adapt to every occasion without compromising what defines us: warm, discreet hospitality, an appreciation of beauty and our own distinctive way of making every guest feel at home.
LOCATION
MADRID, FROM ORFILA
Orfila belongs to that side of Madrid defined by grand townhouses, art galleries, independent boutiques and tree-lined streets that still retain the character of a lived-in neighbourhood. In the heart of Chamberí, the location of this five-star hotel in Madrid means being close to everything while enjoying an unexpected sense of calm.
From here, Madrid invites you to explore on foot. The Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and some of the city’s leading galleries sit alongside the elegant façades of Almagro, the shops of Calle Serrano and the restaurants and terraces that form part of everyday neighbourhood life.
A more unhurried and personal way to experience the capital: step out of Orfila, wander through the more authentic side of Madrid and return to an elegant townhouse in the heart of the city.
