Author tip

If you're fortunate to find yourself occupying a south-facing room, you'll see the Museo del Prado from your balcony. One of Europe's most distinguished galleries, the Prado is a must for lovers of fine art and one of the world's richest collections. Afterwards, go for a stroll in Parque del Buen Retiro, a monumental garden the likes of which you rarely find in the centre of a European capital.

Curious fact

Mata Hari stayed in the hotel during WWI before heading to France and a firing squad in 1917. She was an exotic dancer convicted and executed as a double-agent.
