Review: Gran Atlanta Hotel Madrid
 |
When you enter the Gran Atlanta Hotel Madrid you'll find it spacious and welcoming. There's an old fashioned feel due to the chandeliers, dark wood walls and richly patterned rugs. One unusual feature is a waterfall that glides down the surface of a large mirror and makes a relaxing sound.
The hotel is in Madrid's financial zone and so is ideally placed for quick access to several major companies.
