| The Street Leading To Gran Via From The Alexandra Hotel Madrid |
The Alexandra Hotel Madrid has many facilities within 100 metres on the same street, including: post box, herbal shop, tobacconists, banks, café and tapas bar. If you are feeling a little oriental then there's also a Chinese restaurant about 50 metres away in the direction of Gran Via. Or for convenience, there's a take-away pizza place right downstairs.
This area of Madrid is quite businesslike and there are several large companies with their offices between Gran Via and the Plaza España. By contrast, Gran Via itself attracts a lot of tourists due to the hundreds of shops there. There are also several theatres, tapas bars and cafes along Gran Via.
