This 5-star hotel is located in the Plaza de la Independencia, a long-standing part of central Madrid's, and offering fantastic views of the Puerta de Alcalá. Splendid building designed by the architect José María de Aguilar in 1883 upon the request of General Prim's (a Spanish general and statesman) widow. Now the building is home to the welcoming combination of elegance, architecture, gastronomy and pure revitalization that is this hotel. Easy access to the city's intense artistic, cultural and commercial activity. Hospes Madrid is opening its doors on 15 September 2007.
