This large 4-star hotel is located just off the Gran Via, so it's an ideal base for exploring the attractions Madrid has to offer. The guest rooms are very spacious and clean as are the en-suite bathrooms. Maybe not the most attractive hotel from the outside, but a pleasant surprise upon entering.
Opened in 2002, the Catalonia Moratin Hotel is housed in a traditional building, which has retained its original 18th century façade. The lobby’s classical features include a main wooden staircase guarded by marble lions and a genuine coffered ceiling. The 63 guestrooms are decorated in a rustic style, with warm colour schemes, hardwood floors and attractively striped bed linens. All are clean and well equipped with modern amenities, as are the en suite bathrooms. The hotel’s sandstone patio – a typical Madrid-style "corrala" – is one of its best features, flooded with natural light and embellished with palms and flowers. There’s also a sophisticated restaurant, a library and reading room and a bar. The hotel offers a Continental style buffet every morning in its welcoming breakfast room.
