Hotel El Prado

A member of the highly contemporary Hoteles Culturales Tematicos (HCT) chain, the cool red-brick Hotel El Prado (formerly the Green Hotel Prado) claims to be the first culturally themed hotel in Spain. The individual decor on each of its seven refurbished floors refers to a different wine region of Spain, from Andalusia at ground level to Madrid at the top. Rooms, named after specific wines such as Rioja, are sleekly outfitted with contemporary-looking, full-grained walls and free Wi-Fi, and each unit comes with its own small, but immaculate, tiled bathroom with shower. A full buffet breakfast, the only meal available here, is served in the smart downstairs cafe. The hotel stands in a narrow street leading up from the tranquil Plaza de las Cortes to the cafe-filled Plaza Santa Ana, and -- keeping true to its name -- is also a short walk away from Madrid's most famous museum.
