TÓTEM is an icon of Madrid’s luxury hotel scene. A building from the early twentieth century where elegance, minimalism and avant-garde designs are combined. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it features the famous restaurant El Pimiento Verde – La Parrilla, an iconic bar (El Bar de Tótem), meeting rooms and a state-of-the-art gym.


Casacuberta carried out a comprehensive transformation of this unique 19th century residential building into a 64 room boutique hotel, strategically located in the heart of the Salamanca neighbourhood in Madrid.
As a historic building with elements to protect, we managed to carry out a comprehensive intervention while preserving the essence and original character of the building, giving it an exquisite decoration that exudes serenity and style from the first moment.



Located at the intersection of the streets Calle Hermosilla and Calle Lagasca, in the heart of Madrid’s Golden Mile, TÓTEM is located in a completely renovated 19th century building surrounded by the most luxurious stores in Madrid and in the vicinity of the city’s main tourist attractions.


It is a nineteenth century building, catalogued as historical heritage of Madrid, and representative for its facades on Calle Hermosilla and Calle Lagasca with a hierarchy in five floors delineated by impost lines where a rhythmic succession of balconies is developed. Between the openings there are large solid walls with a lime plaster finish, executed with a pitted effect and recreating a breakup of masonry.
Several features worth mentioning are its original pine staircase with an iron railing, restored piece by piece, and its quadrangular polygon shape with its prominent chamfered corner.


TÓTEM’s team, made up of experts with extensive knowledge of the capital, advises on the secrets that Madrid hides, always considering the personal desires and motivations of each client. It instils a vocation based on the art of service, designing the client’s experience with exquisite attention moment by moment.
It is for this uniqueness and personal spirit that Tótem Madrid has become the meeting point for major brands and artists from the world of art, film and fashion, as well as for anyone looking to enjoy a unique stay in an inspiring environment.
