Gran Hotel Canarias
The hotel is located in the historical heart of Madrid, on Canovas del Castillo square, one of the city’s most beautiful squares. It is also just 400 metres from the Reina Sofia Arts Centre and 2 kilometres from the Royal Palace.


Gran Hotel Canarias
Formerly the palatial residence of the Count of Burgallal, originally built in 1904, the Gran Hotel Canarias is an imposing traditional property. The medium sized lobby is appointed in a traditional style, with granite pillars, a marble tiled floor, leather seating and a wood panelled reception desk. The decor in the 116 guestrooms is classical in style, complemented by hand woven carpets, marble bathrooms and Bang & Olufsen LCD flat screen televisions. All are clean and well maintained, as are the tiled en suite bathrooms, which have showers, hair dryers, bidets and bathrobes. The hotel’s top-floor gym allows guests to work out while enjoying incomparable views of the city centre. The property also boasts two on-site eateries: Galdós restaurant and the Miró brasserie. The former serves seasonal cuisine in a relaxed environment adorned with paintings by Canarian artists. The latter features a unique fusion of modern and classic culinary styles, accompanied by an extensive wine list, with the possibility of alfresco dining on the terrace. There’s also a Continental style buffet breakfast on offer every morning in the brasserie.

Traveller from Harrogate stayed in December,2007
Comment
Comfortable modern hotel for Art lovers, midway between Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza (5 mins from each) and only 10 mins from Reina Sofia (& Atocha Station for TGV, Toledo etc.). Old town 15 mins via Sol to Plaza Major then Royal Palace another 5 mins.
Breakfast very good.
Top Tip
Need to take taxi from Airport bus terminus (now at Avida Des Americas) to Hotel - was refused boarding of connecting bus because of 2 cases (one each!).
As in all El Cortes Ingles stores, supermarket is in basement - location off Sol.
Plenty of Museums and Art Galleries to make 7 days visit duration necessary.

Traveller from Dublin stayed in November,2007
Comment
WE had a great time. We only had breakfast on one morning, slept it out others. Not a great time to visit Madrid because of the cold weather. Generally we found the Spanish people not very friendly. The diningroom needs a total make over - very depressing room. The only friendly people we met while we stayed in this hotel were the security people on the front door. Male receptionist needs to smile - not friendly at all.
Top Tip
Definately go on a bus tour of the city - many fine restaurants located nearby - quite expensive. Museums fantastic. Architecture in Madrid amazing - will definately go back for a longer period.

Traveller from Kirkcaldy stayed in March,2007
Comment
Our room was very dark because it looked out onto a wall but the inside was fabulous.
Top Tip
If you want to visit the Prado etc make sure you don't go on a Sunday unless you have a lot of time. There were very long queues. Make sure you try chocolate and churros. Book private transport from the Airport to your hotel through Aerocity.com
