Named after Velazquez' most famous painting, the hotel is located in a 19th-century apartment building, redecorated in a minimalistic if homey style, although some original elements, like the wooden floors and the domed cellar where breakfast is served, have been preserved.
Campomanes Street is filled with hip boutique hotels and restaurants and gets busy on weekends. I have heard the hotel has been soundproofed, but my room was not during my stay and it did get loud.
The hotel is a bobo chic option to stay in the very heart of Madrid, within walking distance from the Plaza Mayor, Royal Palace and all the major sights in Madrid's Old Town. The Opera and Santo Domingo Metro Stations will give you easy access to the extensive underground network of the city.
