Madrid's oldest hotel, having opened in 1886, now fully restored as a boutique property in the Literary Quarter near Plaza Santa Ana. David Rockwell oversaw the interiors, which blend Art Deco revival with warm tones of white, gray, red, and gold — a sophisticated execution that earns its place on the CNT list. The spa is considered one of the better hotel spas in the city at this price point. The Literary Quarter location puts you within walking distance of the Prado, Thyssen, and the tapas bars of Huertas. Strong value relative to the palace hotels with a genuine history story.
