Dining
Dine on-site at the hotel restaurant, where each morning you can start your day with a breakfast buffet of cheeses, fruit juices, pastries, and cold cuts, as well as hot dishes made to order. For healthier options, visit the Fresh Corner to design your own juice, smoothie, or milkshake. The hotel’s light-filled restaurant also offers lunch and dinner, using seasonal ingredients to create Mediterranean-inspired dishes with international touches.
You can also step outside to explore the local tapas bars, food markets, and fine-dining restaurants — including the Michelin-starred La Terraza del Casino. Overseen by Paco Roncero, a former student of superstar chef Ferrán Adriá, the restaurant serves innovative high-end dishes in palatial surroundings.
Activities
Book a personal trainer session in the gym before a revitalizing massage in the wellness area.

Later, retire to the tranquil reading room and lose yourself in classic and modern Spanish fiction.
Outside the hotel, wander the winding streets of the Barrio de las Letras and spot quotes from great Spanish writers on the sidewalks. The city’s Art Triangle, with the Prado, Reina Sofía, and Thyssen museums, is a short walk away; one of the jewels in its crown is Diego Velázquez's mysterious Las Meninas, a Golden Age masterpiece that hangs in the Prado.
