Hotel Wellington

Frommer's Review

Located in one of Salamanca district's most fashionable avenues, the Wellington is one of those grand old Madrid hotels that's seen slightly better days. Built at the beginning of the 1950s, it still impresses with its French-style entrance and warmly intimate lobby, and its rooms are comfortable and stylish. Rates are comparatively low, and added bonuses include an adjoining gourmet restaurant (Goizeko Wellington) and a garden area with an outdoor summer pool. It's a popular meeting place for the bullfight fraternity, especially during the May fiesta period of Madrid's patron saint, San Isidro, when the cream of torero (bullfighting) society puts in an appearance.
