Review Fenix Gran Hotel Madrid Melia

Reservation Information For The Fenix Gran Hotel Madrid Melia

The Fenix Gran Hotel Madrid has a regal presence about it. It's just off the Plaza Colon, which is surrounded by prestigious buildings, and many of the rooms have views over to the big Avenue of Castellana and the large fountain in the centre of the road. Entry to the hotel is from a smaller, more tranquil street, and once inside the first thing you'll notice is the plush red carpet spilling down the stairs into the lobby. The whole effect is very grand.

Hotel Facilities

As you pass through reception into the lounge, look up and see the beautiful glass ceiling. It is multi-coloured and very delicate. The lounge is a very serene place to relax.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Fenix Gran Hotel Madrid Melia is in a business-like district of Madrid, very close to the Paseo de la Castellana, where some of the largest companies are based. It's close enough for easy access to the hustle and bustle of the Castellana, but tucked back sufficiently that it enjoys peace and quiet.
