CORTES I

Located on the 2nd floor of a short, elegant street. Exterior views over a quiet, tree-lined street. Building with a classical façade, elevator and doorman.

Cortes I is one of our most exclusive and distinguished residences — an exceptionally refined 245 m² home, fully renovated and furnished to the highest standards. Everything about it, from its address to its design, has been considered for those who seek true luxury in the heart of Madrid. It is a home of generous proportions and quiet sophistication, where classic Madrid architecture and contemporary comfort come together beautifully: a place to work, to host, and to feel completely at home.

The apartment enjoys one of the finest locations in the city, set in the Cortes district — one of the most privileged locations Madrid has to offer, where grand boulevards and world-class art all converge. From here, practically every great attraction of the capital is yours on foot. The Congreso de los Diputados stands just around the corner, and the elegant Paseo del Prado — Madrid’s UNESCO-listed cultural axis — is barely three minutes away. Within a short walk you’ll reach the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum (3 minutes), the majestic fountains of Plaza de Cibeles (4 minutes) and the incomparable Museo del Prado (7 minutes), with the Reina Sofía and the green serenity of El Retiro Park just a little beyond — Madrid’s entire «Golden Triangle of Art» and its most iconic squares, all within reach. In the other direction is the Puerta de Alcalá (13-minute walk), in the Barrio de Salamanca.

A carefully assembled collection of Spanish contemporary art, together with refined objects and décor chosen piece by piece, gives the home warmth, character and a personality all its own. Step inside and the apartment reveals a style that balances the classic and the contemporary, dressed in soft, neutral tones. The interiors have been shaped by our team of designers with a keen eye for detail, creating spaces that feel as beautiful as they are effortlessly comfortable. The renovation honours the character of the building, with handcrafted natural oak carpentry, hand-made moldings and ceilings rising over three metres in height, all bathed in the natural light that pours in from the street. A state-of-the-art underfloor heating and cooling system, reinforced with ceiling fan coils, ensures a perfect climate in every season.

The reception areas are the heart of the home. The apartment opens onto a magnificent living-and-dining room of more than 75 m², crowned by three-metre ceilings and framed by three balconies overlooking the street, filling the space with light and a sense of grandeur. Two facing velvet sofas anchor a generous living area, while a graceful round table defines the dining space — a room made equally for elegant entertaining and relaxed everyday living.

Just off the dining area lies a second, beautifully appointed sitting room, with abundant, comfortable seating arranged around a central ottoman and framed by bookshelves and a fine array of contemporary art and photography. Connected by elegant sliding doors, it opens seamlessly onto both the dining room and the master bedroom, so the spaces can flow together for entertaining or be closed off for complete privacy.

Set apart from the living areas behind elegant oak-and-glass doors, the kitchen is a generous, fully enclosed space — spacious, beautifully finished and equipped to the highest standard with premium Siemens appliances. White cabinetry and a classic black-and-white tiled floor lend it a timeless character, while a central island with a breakfast bar offers a relaxed spot for morning coffee or casual meals. A fully equipped laundry room adds real convenience for longer stays.

In the quieter bedroom wing, a large and elegant family room offers a wonderfully relaxed retreat, with deep velvet seating, a 74″ television and a warm, intimate atmosphere — the perfect spot for films and downtime.

Cortes I offers four bedrooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, providing complete privacy and comfort for every guest.

The Master Suite is beautifully appointed with a King bed, a Samsung «The Frame» television, a large walk-in dressing room and an ample double bathroom finished with high-end English fittings. It opens onto a spacious, light-filled seating area with a balcony with double glazing that guarantees a completely silent and peaceful atmosphere.

The second Suite is equally generous, featuring a King bed, a large television facing the bed, a walk-in closet and a bathroom with both bathtub and shower — its walls dressed in a beautiful French wallpaper that lends the room warmth and character.

The third bedroom is a comfortable double with a large wardrobe, offered with the flexibility of either a double bed or two individually dressed single beds — a practical arrangement for families or colleagues travelling together.

The fourth bedroom features a single bed with its own en-suite bathroom. A guest toilet completes the layout.

For complete peace of mind, the rental includes daily maid service of four hours, keeping the home impeccable throughout your stay.

Every detail has been chosen with the comfort of a fine hotel in mind: 800-thread-count English linens, premium goose-down pillows and duvets, and a special welcome pack and amenities await each guest. Refined, serene and impeccably located, Cortes I brings together an extraordinary setting, uncompromising luxury and inspired design — the very best of Madrid, right at your doorstep.

For all its centrality, Cortes I is in a refined and reserved enclave. The surrounding streets are among the best-kept and most discreetly protected in the city, with a constant, low-key security presence that lends a reassuring sense of calm and safety by day and night. Away from the tourist thoroughfares, the Cortes neighbourhood keeps a quiet dignity: handsome façades, tree-lined side streets, celebrated restaurants and centuries-old cafés — a district that is at once sophisticated, residential and serene.
