Review Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid
The Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid is unusual in its design, and has an old fashioned feel to it as you enter. This doesn’t detract from its popularity though, as when I arrived there were hoards of elderly English tourists happily heading out on an excursion! As you enter reception, on the right there’s a quaint little jewellery and souvenir shop. I was greeted by the sound of ‘Strangers in the night’ playing throughout the lobby, and wonderfully cooling air-conditioning. Combined with the décor in the lobby, which is greens, browns and rust reds, mixed with white and grey marble walls and amber glass panels in the ceiling – I felt like I had stepped into a 1940s movie set! Hotel FacilitiesYou’ll be spoilt for choice with the number of places to drink and dine in the Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid. There are 2 bars, a restaurant and a breakfast room, all decorated in different styles. One of the bars is a classic piano bar and the other is more homely in an English style. Breakfast is a buffet from 07:30 – 11:00, although if your departure is earlier, you can have breakfast as early as 05:00. There’s also a buffet on Monday to Friday between 13:00 and 15:00 in the breakfast room. The restaurant is open for lunch between 13:00 and 15:00 and for dinner between 20:00 and 23:00 and specialises in Mediterranean cuisine. You can buy snacks in the ‘English’ bar, and relax to the sound of water from the fountain, or if you fancy something a little more sophisticated, you can sample cocktails in the piano bar, which is open until 01:30. Other facilities include a laundry service and hotel parking next door. Business Facilities
The Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid has extensive facilities for business people. There’s a separate entrance next to reception into their specialised Business Centre (Centro de Negocios), where you’ll find 5 large conference rooms that can seat a maximum of 260 people. Each of the rooms is equipped with: public address system, blackboard, overhead projector, folders, pens, felt pens, water, sweets, and you can request audiovisual equipment, secretary, stewardess, computers, fax, photocopying machine and simultaneous translation. Prices start at 300 euros for half a day. RoomsThere are 200 rooms at the Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid, and they are quite sumptuous. They also benefit from soundproofing, although the Mayorazgo is not on a particularly noisy street. The one I saw was decorated in rich blues and creams. Each room has an en-suite marble bathroom, direct dial phone, desk, AC, safe, minibar, interactive satellite TV, message service and alarm clock, trouser press, piped music and room service. Most of the rooms have a view to the street, but on the top floor you can see across the rooftops to Gran Via. Hotel Location And Facilities
The Hotel Mayorazgo Madrid is in a fairly quiet street, 2 minutes walk from the bustling Gran Via road. Gran Via is a great place to start exploring as it is packed with shops, tapas bars, coffee houses, restaurants and it has several of Madrid’s most popular theatres. Right next door to the hotel is a sunlit terrace belonging to a café / restaurant. Across the street there is a hairdressers, and 2 minutes downhill, if you turn right towards the Plaza España, there are several little grocery stores. There’s a restaurant next door to the hotel as well, and if you’re feeling in the mood for some fast food, there’s a Burger King on Gran Via, 2 minutes walk away.
