This is one of the most attractive medium-size hotels in Madrid, with plenty of comfort and convenience. Opened in 1947 on an affluent residential street near the center of town, it has a 1930s-style Art Deco facade and a 1940s interior filled with well-upholstered furniture and richly grained paneling. Several public rooms lead off a central oval area. As in many hotels of its era, the rooms vary. Some are large enough for entertaining, with a small separate sitting area. All contain piped-in music and walk-in closets. Bathrooms are decorated in marble or tiles, with either stall showers or tubs.
