Hotel Location

Madrid

The capital of Spain since 1562, Madrid is in the geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula and a city of great monuments, world-class museums and modern boulevards. The contrasts of the old and new merge with gleaming skyscrapers set close to 17th-century chapels. Explore all that the famous Prado art museum has to offer, enjoy tapas as you hop from one bar to the next, or revel in the centuries-old sport of bullfighting.

What to see:

Museo Nacional del Prado

A one-time Spanish Royal art collection is now recognized as one of the world's finest collections of European art. The Spanish Masters collection is a must-see including Las Meninas by Diego Velázquez and works by Goya, El Greco and Murillo.

Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía

Catalan architect Oriol Bohigas called this sprawling modern art museum "the ugliest building in Spain," but inside is a world-class collection with emphasis on 20th-century Spanish artists including Dalí, Miró, and Picasso, and also including the work of other international artists.

Palacio Real

Madrid's Royal Palace is the official residence of the King of Spain, though it's only used for state ceremonies today. A handful of the palace's 2,800 rooms are open to the public. Visitors can view the Royal Armory and artwork by masters such as Caravaggio, Veláquez and Goya. Don't miss the well-manicured gardens.

Plaza Mayor

This famous plaza in the heart of Madrid stood outside the city wall during medieval times. The square has seen a long list of public spectacles over the years, including burning of heretics, bullfights, and festivals. Numerous cafes and restaurants line the square today, with street performers adding to the lively scene.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

The collection at this art museum compliments both the Prado and the Reina Sofia. On display are Italian primitives, works from the English, Dutch, American and German schools, as well as plenty of works from the Impressionists and Expressionists.

Jardines del Buen Retiro

At the edge of the city center, the 350-acre Jardines del Buen Retiro is the largest park in the city of Madirid. Once owned by the Spanish Monarchy, today it is a public park filled with sculptures, monuments and a peaceful lake.

Puerta de Alcalá Gate

Important Italian architect Francesco Sabatini designed this granite neoclassical gateway in 1774, and the monument marked the eastern edge of the city until the mid-1800s. Angels and cupids hover over the gateway's five arches.

Casa de la Villa

The old town hall and former prison of Madrid is situated in the charmingly historic Plaza de la Villa. Although the government left the building in 2007, visitors can pop in to take a tour of the many rooms decorated with 17th-century frescoes, including work by Goya.

Casa de Cisneros House

Next to Casa de la Villa (and connected by an arched passageway) in the Plaza de la Villa is this 16th-century palace that was restored at the beginning of the 20th century. Take a look inside the Tapestry Room, which contains an impressive collection of textile art.
