Details
The 19th-century mansion is just off the busy Paseo de la Castellana. Inside, the original carriage entrance leads into a marble-floored lobby, furnished with 19th-century furniture, and original, largely Spanish, paintings. Local and international business travelers dominate during the week. At weekends, leisure travelers are in the majority. Since the restaurant is a highlight of the hotel, food lovers are tempted to stay here. The meeting room, which has a maximum capacity for 90 people, is fitted with audio-visual equipment and has high-speed wireless Internet access (surcharge). It is nonetheless decorated with original 19th-century furniture, and decorated in delicate yellow and caramel tones. Guests are advised to take a good look at the antique furniture and art work in the hotel which ranges from a painting by a disciple of Goya to delicate, gilded Venetian chairs, gilded Parisian cabinets, and 19th-century English engravings. The most entertaining painting hangs in The Bar El Torero by A. Atalaya (1897) depicts a drunken bullfighter, slumped over his drinks.
