"When you fling open the shutters each morning to one of the city’s most important squares, it’s obvious this hotel is something special. There is no other hotel in town that inserts travelers directly into the heart of a landmark like this one. It is sure to be a tourist fave. One of the 34 rooms facing the square is a must as almost all are blessed with small balconies overlooking the daytime hubbub of tourists and nighttime tranquility of Plaza Mayor with its famous Philip III statue at its center. Hallways are filled with Portuguese azulejo tiles paying homage to the brand’s heritage. Thoughtful touches like Portuguese Castelbel toiletries and bedside power outlets add to the experience. Tourists could not ask for a more quintessential Madrid view than this one." - Ramsey Qubein
