Before reporting the highlights of our overnight stay at this gorgeous hotel, first I want to clarity that, despite the hotel's own description here on TripAdvisor, there is most definitely NOT an airport shuttle service. I booked this hotel because it met all of our amenities list requirements, which included an airport shuttle. However, when I phoned the hotel upon arrival at Madrid-Barajas to ask where we should board the shuttle, I was informed that they do not offer shuttle service. The receptionist mentioned that they may have done so in the past, but they no longer provide this service. So if you're looking for a hotel with an airport shuttle, TaCH Madrid is not it. However, the hotel's proximity to the airport makes Ubering a good option. The ride is literally five minutes from the Arrivals terminal to the hotel entrance. Having clarified that situation, I can report that TaCH Madrid Airport ranks among the top tier of the 300+ hotels we've booked in our travels through 45 countries. The ambiance is modern, intelligent, upscale. At check-in, the desk agent was courteous, efficient and informative. We were assigned a 2-bedroom executive suite, which was quite lovely. The bathroom is enormous, with a full-size soaking tub (hot, hot water!) as well as a separate shower stall. In fact, the executive bathroom has two showers including the one mounted on the wall in the tub space. Towels were abundant and larger/thicker than hotel standard. Toiletries include Rituals brand shampoo and shower gel in wall-mounted dispensers. (Bring your own conditioner and body lotion.) The living area included a large desk space with chair as well as two comfy side chairs and a coffee table. The beds/pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and blackout curtains facilitated undisturbed rest. Four bottles of spring water awaited us in the room, which we gulped after flying from Rome to Madrid with no access to decent water. Room amenities included a mini-refridge, plentiful electrical outlets, excellent wi-fi, reading lamps at the desk and bedside, a TV in each room, large foyer with a full-length mirror, closet/shelf space, and a safe. We were pleasantly surprised by the breakfast buffet, which included vegan options - fresh sliced fruits as well as a mixed green salad, baked beans, and fruit juices. Other options include scrambled or hard boiled eggs, breakfast meats and cheese, yogurt, dry cereal, and half a dozen types of breads/pastries. The gourmet coffee machine dispenses a diverse selection of both regular and decaf options (unfortunately no oat milk or soy milk). Other than the fact that the airport shuttle doesn't exist, TaCH Madrid Airport merits five out of five circles.
