    I booked this hotel (also known simply as THE PALACE) in Madrid primary because of its location which is only 5 minutes walk from El Prado Museum, and also because the building looked good in the photographs.
    It was recently extensively restored though the original building was constructed under the direction of King Alfonso XIII in 1912 --- not to worry, the plumbing was excellent despite the oldness. The rooms are very comfy with their “signature” Heavenly Bed – I did sleep well, and the bathroom was likewise very clean.
    Still with jet lag, I decided to walk early in the morning and I just followed a path which in 10 minutes brought me to the Parque del Retiro – and I enjoyed sitting by the big lake and see a lone lady canoeing.
    I did not book the Executive Suite, but from the pictures I do think it might work for us when we go to Madrid with the kids. The hotel itself has been named #1 in the 2008 Conde Nast Top Hotels in Spain.
    The service is okay, nothing personal – they checked me in very quickly and approach was business-like. Wi-Fi is available and my room had a nice study table.
    Overall a wonderful luxury hotel and perfect if you like being near the El Prado and be in a safe area in Madrid.

    magnificent building near El Prado

    The Palace Hotel, a Westin Hotel, is the hotel you want to stay at if you can afford it. My sister works for Westin so I was able to stay at the employee rate of $69USD...but nornally it's about $200-$300 USD a night! Only that deal allowed us to stay at such a fancy establishment. I have high expectations at this price range and the hotel was what you would expect for its 5 star rating. Elegant decor, the Westin Heavenly Bed and Bath, and outstanding service.

    The location was fantastic and made our visit to Madrid easier. There are local grocery stores nearby, where we bought bottled water, snacks and lunch items at really affordable prices. The Puerto del Sol, Plaza Mayor, Museo del Prado were withing 5 minutes walking. The AVE (Alto Velocidad Espana) High Speed Train station is also nearby.

    The facilites were well kept and the room was in pristine condition. The Oversized double vanity bathroom, Heavenly bed, 24 hour workout facilities were all great features. The front office was bilingual and offered many good suggestions. There's even a travel agency in the hotel (which we used to book the AVE high speed train to Sevilla).

    Here's a tip.
    Use the bank "Caja Madrid" across the street to exchange currency. The hotel suggested it as being a better deal then going with their exchange rate.

    This hotel is centrally located to a lot of the sights in Madrid, so you'll be easily able to spend 2-3 days just walking out in a different direction and finding stuff to do and see. Also there's plenty of nightlife within a short walk from here.

    Service was great and the rooms were fantastic. I especially loved the bathroom set up and also the added touch of a small platter of chocolates being delivered to the room right after we checked in.

    Even if you're not staying here, but in the vicinity, you might want to stop into the hotel for a pre-dinner drink. Just past the lobby entrance is an area known as the Rotunda where you can sit for a drink while a pianist plays right near you. Something different to do anyway!

    We booked a premium room(265 Euro's a night) online before we left and thought since there were so many good reviews on VT that the hotel would be a great place to stay. When we got to our room it was dingy run down and not a 5 star hotel room at all (see photo's). Before we unpacked we went down to the front desk and were assured that that was the upgraded room, but the women was nice enough to give us a new room that was not so run down.

    Very good breakfast.

    Try staying at another hotel. At checkout they put an additional 400 euros on my bill for things like laundry, car service etc. They did take them off after we discussed it for 15 minutes. Dont listen to peoples reviews who have not stayed here. try another hotel.

    • One of the nicest/ best-known hotels in the city. Stayed here my first two nights in Europe before moving into a homestay through study abroad program. Friendly, respectful and informative staff. The concierge staff was a great resource for restaurants and kindly directed me toward the "must-sees" around Madrid, as it was my first visit there.

    Very centrally located by the "big 3" art museums. Safe, beautiful area within short walking distance to many interesting cultural activities and close to metro stations (Banco de Espana) and bus stops.
    Be sure to eat breakfast in the rotunda, one of it's famous features.
