Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Not in the tourist core — While the Museum Quarter and Retiro Park are on the doorstep, the hotel is a bit outside the tapas-and-small-shops area some travellers prefer.
  • Premium price point — Rates start at £310 per night, reflecting the 5-star category and location.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Limited on-site parking info — No parking details are provided, so guests arriving by car may need to plan ahead.
