Accommodation - Spain - Madrid

 

From the grand opening of the Ritz in 1908, Madrid has continued to build upon its reputation as host to the world's finest luxury and specialist hotels. Whilst pricing at the top end of the market is typically reflective of the refined level of service provided, the general standard of quality across all price spectrums is high.

With an estimated 70,000 rooms available, there is no shortage of accommodation options, although availability at better quality establishments and the trendy new designer hotels remains at a premium. The contrast in styles amongst these is vast, landmark establishments of extraordinary character and rich ornate appearance blend harmoniously with cutting edge hotels formed from a pure design objective. One can only speculate whether the appeal of the later will remain as strong in the years to come, but for the present these establishments represent the ultimate in modern hospitality.

Madrid's recent implementation of strict new laws pertaining to safety standards has forced significant renovations across all levels of accommodation, notably bringing many lower level hotels up to an otherwise acceptable level, should such an option be necessitated.

Many premium hotels offer weekend discounts of up to 30% although Madrid's popularity as both a tourist and business destination ensures there is little seasonal variation in pricing. It should be noted that there continues to exist a distinct shortage of parking availability in Madrid and it is particularly ill-advised to leave one's car parked in the open due to the risk of break-in. If travelling in motor vehicle format it is essential to confirm garaging availability with the designated hotel.

Madrid's largest concentration of hotels tends to be situated around the Atocha and Gran Via districts, a bustling and somewhat noisy area of less refined appeal. Better hotels will be found throughout the cosmopolitan districts of Chamberí and Salamanca, providing for a more exclusive accommodation experience, whilst in Argüelles one can find some of the best designer hotels in Spain, or for that matter, the continent.
