Sol Meliía's new high-design brand makes a bold statement with its first property, ME Madrid. The palatial white building in Plaza Santa Ana only vaguely resembles its previous incarnation as the favorite hangout of bullfighters, but enormous (faux) bull heads mounted in the hotel's Midnight Rose bar are a winking homage. Otherwise, ME Madrid has been completely revamped into a modern space designed to woo trendy young patrons. Its 192 small rooms are outfitted almost entirely in white, with dashes of bright purple, while the baths are inlaid in dark brown marble. The rooftop Penthouse is a stylish outdoor bar with candlelit couches and great mojitos. The mantra "Everything is possible" is taken seriously by the staff, who provide all comforts.
