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.

The wraps have to be the worst part of the lounge. I find them absolutely disgusting. I don't know that I've ever seen them not soggy from being out WAY too long.
Though I think a lot will be running low if you're there until 2200 since they'll be getting ready to close for the day.

I've got a Ryanair flight which gets into to Madrid just after midnight, and then a BA flight at around 11. Is there a sleeping area (like in the Dalí VIP Lounge) in the Velázquez VIP Lounge? And what time to they wheel out the hot breakfast?

Will be flying business from ORD-MAD-FCO with like a 7 hour layover in MAD. Not sure what terminal in MAD we will be in but would like to know which is the best lounge to spend the time. Not sure if we want to leave and explore the city a little but that's a consideration. Thanks.

Your only lounge choice is the Dalí lounge in T4 main. But I would definitely go to the city. You can get there on the Cercanías line for 2,60€ each way if a taxi seems too steep.
If you want to save an hour or so in the round trip (assuming you arrive outside of rush hour), a taxi is 30€ fixed fare each way.

Any suggestions on what we should see? I'm assuming that there won't be an issue leaving and coming back into the airport, correct?

You are not supposed to leave baggage in the lounge. There is a left luggage in T4.

You have to get back to the main terminal on the satellite shuttle train before being able to exit the airport.
