Between the Plaza de España and the Plaza Callao, on Madrid’s famous Gran Vía, this comfortable hotel is less than a half-mile from Puerto del Sol and a mile from the Prado Museum and numerous other historic sites.
Take in a conference or paintings by Goya, Picasso, and Velázquez before returning to one of the hotel’s 144 guestrooms, all of which were renovated in 1998 and offer private bathrooms, cable TV, and in-room safes.
After haunting Madrid’s museums, plazas, tapas bars, and nightclubs, hop on a train at the nearby Atocha train station and explore the city’s sunny outer reaches.
