Hotel Santo Domingo is transformed into Inhala Hotel Garden: A new icon of wellness and sustainability in Madrid

Madrid, Monday, February 10, 2025 - After more than 30 years of history, the emblematic Hotel Santo Domingo presents its new identity as Inhala Hotel Garden, marking the beginning of a new stage that combines the balance between nature and urbanity, sustainability and hospitality. This launch reinforces the hotel's three-decade legacy, now projected towards a green and responsible future. This change is much more than a new name; it is a statement of intent to position itself as a benchmark for sustainable tourism and wellness in the heart of the capital.

Strategically located in the center of Madrid, Inhala Hotel Garden offers guests the opportunity to explore the city's wide range of cultural, gastronomic and leisure activities, while enjoying the tranquility of returning to an oasis designed for rest and connection with nature. With services such as parking, rooftop pool and restaurant with terrace, among others, the hotel retains its usual offerings, elevating them with a renewed approach that integrates sustainable design and holistic wellness.

The name "Inhala" conveys a sense of breathing fresh air and revitalizing oneself in a natural environment. An experience that comes to life in the hotel through its hanging garden, an iconic space, a green lung in the center of Madrid, with a surface area of 1,000 square meters of vegetation. This hanging garden is the core of the hotel's identity, designed to improve well-being, reduce environmental impact and offer guests a unique sensory experience.

In the words of Antonio Núñez, director of the hotel: "This rebranding represents our opportunity to evolve, to reaffirm our identity and become a benchmark for sustainable tourism. Our wonderful hanging garden is already a flag of identity and we are confident that it is an unrepeatable space in the capital, so we are eager to share it with our customers and with the city of Madrid. We want to be a green refuge where the urban rhythm meets the calm of nature. Inhala Hotel Garden is not just a hotel, it is an experience of wellness and sustainability."

The transition to Inhala Hotel Garden involves not only a visual and name change, but also a commitment to sustainability and conscious design. Under a Greenwall strategy, worked hand in hand with Greenme experts, the hotel will implement key initiatives to consolidate itself as a model of sustainable tourism.

Thus, Inhala Hotel Garden is working on an ambitious decarbonization strategy that seeks to turn its facilities into a carbon sink, reducing the ecological footprint of its guests. This transformation includes the implementation of circularity practices to eliminate single-use plastics and minimize waste as much as possible. In addition, the hotel is committed to a positive impact approach that benefits employees, local communities and the environment.

Examples of these actions already implemented include the use of SEPIIA uniforms for its employees, smart and sustainable garments that reflect the hotel's commitment to innovation and the environment. Since the hanging garden is a central element in this project, the hotel has collaborated with the company Cuarto Sentido to identify two fragrances that already characterize Inhala Hotel Garden: Grass and Fresh Grass.

In addition, each space is being renovated under the concept of urban nature, from the main hall to the rooms and common areas, in order to give life to environments that combine functionality with sustainable design and convey calm.

This renovation also includes a new mural, visible from the rooms overlooking the interior courtyard, created in collaboration with the young artist Marina Díaz-Cordovés Verbo (@diazcordovesverbo). This avant-garde mural manages to revitalize the spaces with freshness and energy thanks to its dynamic colors and attractive shapes. The work invites to reconnect with the environment from a young and current perspective and constitutes a message of transformation and vitality that is completely in line with the unique Japanese courtyard garden located in a 20th century building.

"Inhala Hotel Garden is designed so that every detail conveys calm and reconnection with nature. We want to offer our guests an oasis of well-being in the heart of Madrid, where every space, from the rooms to the terrace, has been created with their comfort and respect for the environment in mind," says Mr. Núñez.

As part of this transformation, the renovation of its restaurant service stands out. The former "Terraza del Santo Domingo" has become the Inhala Terraza, an exclusive space that offers an exceptional gastronomic proposal based on high quality products. This space offers 360-degree panoramic views of the rooftops of downtown Madrid, creating a unique and relaxing atmosphere that perfectly reflects the essence of the new Inhala concept.

Inhala Hotel Garden reinforces its position as a leader in the MICE sector, offering a solid commitment to sustainable tourism. Its spacious facilities are designed to host corporate events and meetings of various sizes, with rooms equipped with advanced technology that guarantee connectivity and comfort.

Antonio Núñez continues, "At Inhala Hotel Garden, we understand the importance of business meetings and events as drivers of innovation and growth. That is why we have spaces that are not only functional and technological, but also reflect our values of sustainability and wellbeing. We want to be the place where ideas thrive in harmony with the environment."
