Vincci Soho

The Vincci Soho's historic exterior is adorned with a lizard sculpture made from recycled CDs, setting the tone for this modern yet historic hotel. Since this hotel was constructed from five historic Madrid buildings, you can see the changes in the heights of the ceilings and the different types of architecture throughout. However, the hotel still follows the Vincci brand standards of mixing classic structures with bright colors and bold prints. A work of art made of light fixtures and black stone greets guests in the foyer, and the lobby is filled with other artistic lamps. Gray tile floors, a wooden desk, and lizard wallpaper adorn the lobby, while mod-inspired purple and floral furniture provides extra seating. Artistic light fixtures and metal butterflies can be found throughout the hotel, while the soft fabrics of the couches make the common areas feel cozy. Brown and black wicker furniture is spread throughout the stylish terrace/bar area and some parts are covered to help with the summer heat.

The Vincci Soho is located in the Barrio de las Letras, in Madrid's central Huertas district, surrounded by bars, restaurants, high-end shops, and historic architecture. The “Triange of Art” is within walking distance, and public transportation stops are under a 15-minute walk away. A rental car is only necessary if you plan to leave the city center. The hotel offers parking for a fee. Airport transfers can be arranged for a fee.

All rooms at the Vincci Soho have a similar design and color scheme, although suites are significantly grander than regular rooms. All are decorated in shades of gray, red, purple, and blue, and furnishings are sleek and stylized. Floral headboards, wood floors, and artistic pendant lamps can be found throughout; the spacious suites have also have a seating area with tan couches. Standard bathrooms are decorated with slate tile and have a combination shower/tub, and are on the smaller side. Modern square sinks take up a lot of counter space in most bathrooms, but round bowl sinks in the suite bathrooms save more space for toiletries. Bidets, makeup mirrors, and Vincci amenities are in all bathrooms. Suite bathrooms are larger and also include bathrobes, red tile showers with rainfall showerheads, and large jetted tubs that can fit at least two people. All rooms have free wired Internet ports, newspapers, and bottled water, as well as minibars and air-conditioning; suites also have coffeemakers. Some guests find the color scheme in the rooms a bit dark, others complain of a lack of electrical outlets, and street-facing rooms do get some noise.

Serving modern Spanish and international cuisine, the hotel's restaurant, Humana, is a popular and trendy spot in the neighborhood. An excellent breakfast is also served here daily, but it's quite pricey. The lobby bar serves drinks and snacks throughout the day, and everything can also be ordered to the sunny interior terrace, which has plenty of seating and umbrellas. Room service is available, but only at limited hours. There are several meeting and event spaces available at the hotel, too. Wi-Fi is available for a fee, as is on-site parking.
