I recently came across the Hotel Abalú, a former hostel turned tiny boutique hotel in the heart of Madrid. Located just off the Gran Vía, its location is pretty ideal. I love that each room is decorated differently. Some are muted and dressed in neutral palettes while others veer on the quirky side. Each guestroom is stylish, but maintains a sort of homespun vibe (think Anthropologie meets Flea Market Chic). To me, staying at the Hotel Abalú would be like staying in a very stylish friend’s guestroom for a few nights.
Of course, I love the Imperial Trellis in this room!
I could certainly do without the “mood lighting”, but I think the rest of this room is great.
How cool is this headboard? It just so happens to be in my color du jour, peacock blue, too.
I love the vintage telephone in this room.
Another room with several great touches
I love the gorgeous venetian mirror in this bathroom.
