Hotel Preciados

Frommer's Review

One of Madrid's newest hotels has been created from a historic 1861 structure. The original facade, entryway, grand staircase, and other architectural details have been retained, but everything else has been reconstructed from scratch for modern comfort. The five-floor hotel, which opened in 2001, is close to such landmarks as the royal palace, the opera house, and the Puerta del Sol (the very center of Madrid). Children are especially welcome here, and there are special facilities for them such as extra beds that can be added to the standard rooms and even a special kiddies menu in the restaurant. Bedrooms are midsize to spacious, and the bathrooms have all new plumbing. The on-site restaurant, serving a savory Mediterranean cuisine, used to be the famous Café Varela, a favorite of Madrid's literati.
