Pestana Plaza Mayor
A number of privately-owned apartments are available for rent via Airbnb right on Plaza Mayor, but when it comes to hotels the Pestana is your sole option. And it’s less expensive than you might imagine given the exclusive setting and the degree of comfort on offer here. When you arrive at reception (accessed on a street just off the square) you’ll be offered a complimentary glass of cava by the especially helpful staff. There’s a rooftop terrace with a pool in summer, an awesome brick-vaulted spa, and a shady central courtyard where a buffet and cooked-to-order breakfast is served. Guest rooms are appointed in contemporary style with exposed brickwork and carpeted floors. Of course, you’ll pay more for a room with a royal box view, but everyone can use the second-floor lounge with its cozy fireplace and windows overlooking Madrid’s magnificent square.
