Hotel Ritz Madrid
The hotel, designed by architect Francis Mewes and modeled on the Paris Ritz, opened its doors in 1910. In May 2015, the Ritz Madrid was bought by Mandarin Oriental International Limited and the Saudi Arabian Olayan Group. The hotel is not only interesting for tourists due to its proximity to all important cultural attractions such as the Prado or the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, but also for business travelers as it is not far from the Madrid Stock Exchange and the financial district. The rooms are individually decorated with embroidered bed linen, hand-woven carpets and marble bathrooms. Meeting and conference rooms are designed for up to 500 people, for whom a simultaneous interpreting service is also available. Guests can also use a fitness center, use a solarium and sauna. The terrace and gardens are ideal for meetings with friends or business colleagues. The hotel is currently closed due to extensive renovations.

The Westin Palace
Since its opening in 1913, the Palace and the Ritz have been vying for the title of Best Hotel in Madrid. The large-scale hotel – it has 455 rooms – has been renovated so that it almost surpasses its original version in magnificence. In addition to the 18 conference and event rooms, the business center and the translation service, there are also individual work areas in the rooms with desks, fax machines / printers and handsfree telephones. The fitness suite is open around the clock. The Westin Palace is overtly ornate, but less dated than the Ritz.

English
Opened in 1853, the hotel enjoys an excellent location in the old town of Madrid and only 100 meters from Puerta del Sol. Cultural attractions such as the Prado as well as the bars and restaurants around Calle Huertas are easily accessible from the hotel. Although the modern interior is a little unimaginative, the 58 rooms are in pristine condition. The service is attentive and available around the clock. At night it is a bit noisy in the rooms in the front of the hotel due to its location on the street; the rooms in the back of the hotel are quieter. All rooms have bathrooms. Other hotel facilities include the fitness center, the café and the garage – a valuable plus given the limited parking space in central Madrid.

Best Western Hotel Trafalgar
Hotel Trafalgar is less than ten minutes from the city center by underground (Iglesia or Bilbao) and is popular with tourists and business people alike. It is in a residential area and is surrounded by shops, restaurants and other facilities. The 48 en suite rooms are not particularly interesting, but are equipped with air conditioning, direct dial telephone and television. There is a laundry and currency exchange service. The English speaking staff is friendly and helpful, but the biggest plus (especially in this price range) is the indoor pool.

Hotel Monaco
This hotel, which was originally a brothel very popular with Spanish noblemen, is located in the lively district ( Barrio) Chueca, where the capital’s forges used to be. It was converted into a hotel in 1950, and its Art Deco-inspired interior now seems a little cheesy. Most of the 30 rooms have some of the original furnishings from the 1950s – a stucco molding here, a marble column there. The kitsch room 20 with its mirror walls and free-standing bathtub is unsurpassed. The leather private rooms in the breakfast room are also originals. The hotel service includes advance ticket sales, a fax machine, laundry facilities and a bar. The rooms are equipped with a safe, telephone and television. The staff speaks English.
