An easy distance from museums and shopping, this 100-year-old Belle Époque hotel in Retiro has "an excellent location." "Facilities were wonderfully old-world"; spacious rooms are individually designed, with handwoven rugs, antique furnishings, and French windows that open to views that include the Prado. Goya's dishes, such as beef stuffed with foie gras, combine French and Basque elements. Hotel staff are "gracious, attentive, and efficient."
