Castellana InterContinental Hotel

Frommer's Review

Solid, spacious, and conservatively modern, this is one of Madrid's most reliable hotels. Originally built in 1963, the Castellana InterContinental lies behind a barrier of trees in a neighborhood of apartment houses and luxury hotels. Its high-ceilinged public rooms are gorgeous, with terrazzo floors and giant abstract murals pieced together from multicolored stones and tiles. Former infamous celebrities like Oliver Reed, who (not always welcomingly) livened the place up in the '70s, have given way today to a more staid business-oriented clientele. Most of the accommodations have private balconies and traditional furniture, and most rooms provide generous living space with safes and very large beds, often king size. Bathrooms are tiled and well equipped.

3 restaurants; bar; health club; sauna; solarium; salon; room service; babysitting; laundry service
