Frommer's Very Highly Recommended
This finely renovated luxury hotel enjoys an unrivalled location just across the road from El Retiro park (ask for a room at the front if you want to enjoy the exceptional views.) It's also only a short stroll from here to Madrid's "golden triangle" of great art museums and Calle Serrano's sophisticated shops. A nationally registered early-20th-century building, the hotel combines magnificent traditional architecture with ultra-elegant modern decor that's notable for its inventive use of glass and marble. Public areas and rooms alike are coolly spacious and furnished with immaculate taste. Modern facilities include a business area with Internet access and staff support, as well as a well-equipped fitness center. There are special rooms for clients with disabilities and nonsmokers, and some rooms have interconnecting facilities. All have ensuite bathrooms equipped with hydromassage Jacuzzis. To facilitate your arrival, a shuttle service is available to and from the airport.
