Frommer's Review
East of Retiro Park, Gran Hotel Colón is just a few minutes from the city center by subway. Built in 1966, it offers comfortable yet reasonably priced accommodations in a modern setting. More than half of the accommodations have private balconies, and all contain traditional furniture, much of it built-in. Rooms vary in size but most offer roomy comfort, dark wood beds, and adequate closet space. Bathrooms are small, with stall showers, but with suitable shelf space. Other perks include two dining rooms, a covered garage, and bingo games. One of the Colón's founders was an interior designer, which accounts for the unusual stained-glass windows and murals in the public rooms and the paintings by Spanish artists in the lounge.
