Iberia lounges at MAD Madrid-Barajas (T4/T4S)

Departure lounges
Iberia Premium Lounge Dalí
Located in T4 immediately after security at Level 2, if departing or connecting to Schengen, IB operated London bound flights (A330/A350 excluded) or domestic flights: it is a decent lounge with free food, drinks and showers. Open 06:00 to 23:00.

Iberia Premium Lounge Velázquez
Open daily 06:00 to 01:00
Located in T4S (Zone "S") at Level 1 at the edge of the duty free store. Open 24 hours, for departures to non-Schengen and long haul flights; self-serve food, drinks, wine bar (Rincón del vino), restaurant w/ limited hours, targeted to departing intercontinental overnight Iberia flyers.
Lunch buffet 14:00 – 16:30, Dinner 21:00 onwards, Bistro 21:00 - 00:30
When you exit the lounge and make your way to your departure gate, veer left through the duty free store. You can use Starbucks as a visual cue. If you veer right, you will end up in a cul-de-sac.
Arrivals lounge
Sala de Llegadas
Located in the main T4 arrivals hall at level -1. The lounge is equipped with showers and a breakfast room.
This is not a oneworld lounge. Access is provided free of charge to business class passengers who have arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more that 4 hours. Iberia Plus Platinum, Gold, and Singular members may also use the lounge provided they have also arrived on an Iberia operated flight of more than 4 hours. Paid entrance is also available
Lounge hopping
Terminal 4 and 4S are joined by a subterranean train; it is unlikely to lounge hop as the gatekeepers are rather strict about using the appropriate lounge.

Innocent Abroad, good that you picked up this thread. I foresee a problem if one checks in the night before using a printed online check-in boarding pass. I recall that when flying QR, checking in at the counter means also getting the lounge invitation card which must be presented on entering the lounge. Without this, I think the lounge dragons would not let one in. What do you think?

Yes, in the past no one ever asked for anything but the boarding pass (mobile or printed). All of these cases were when I flew IB (as is the case this time) so I don't think an invitation would be needed.
I did think that perhaps they will be reluctant to let me in because the flight is in the following day although in this case I could simply wait until midnight

It's a nice lounge, enjoyed a couple of visits when flying BA/IB previously, I do remember it being fairly mobbed around noon, and then being there at 5pm and being the only person there!

Together with BA lounges at LHR T3 and T5, this is definitely a great European Airport lounge. Many happy visits before, again in a couple of weeks ^

I will be arriving into MAD T4s at 23.35 and departing T4s at 09.10 the next morning. Ill be with my wife and 2 kids aged 3 and 6.
I saw on the Iberia page that their are relaxation areas where you can sleep in the lounge.
We will be flying business class from MAD-LHR-MIA (Iberia and AA), but no status (well OW ruby) but should have access to the lounge based on class of travel.
What are these relaxation areas like and can they be booked, or you just turn up and take your chances?
Just to make it a bit more complicated, we are actually arriving on Iberia express from LGW on a separate ticket (ex EU worked out way cheaper), so was wondering if they would check the bag at LGW (route would be LGW-MAD-LHR-MIA) or if we'd have to collect the bags and re-check in (presumably meaning waiting land side for check in to open to drop bags?)
Any help would be appreciated!
