Clean, luxurious and spacious for a city hotel, the hotel is in the middle of a fun area that is incredibly convenient to many of Madrid's best barrios. You are at the corner of Parque Retiro, a few minutes walk from the best museums, and adjacent to the swanky stores and restaurants of Salamanca. The perfect location. And did I mention the friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff? They made us feel very welcome, an oasis of calm in the swirl of Alcala.
