Review Hotel Opera Madrid

Book Now Click here for making your booking at The Hotel Opera Madrid

The Hotel Opera Madrid has a unique appealing factor that I haven’t yet found in any other hotel! In its stylish restaurant, the waiters double as opera singers, and will entertain you while you dine. This is fitting with its location right next to the famous Royal Opera House in the heart of the beautiful, tree-filled old district known as Madrid of the ‘Austrias’. Here the architecture dates from the XVI to XIX centuries and the streets are filled with a romantic atmosphere. 

You can walk to some of Madrid’s most emblematic buildings, like the Royal Palace, and relax in the lush green Plaza de Oriente which is between the Royal Place and the Hotel Opera Madrid. The hotel itself has excellent friendly and helpful staff and caters for business travellers and tourists.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Square Outside The Opera House And A Few Steps Away From The Hotel Opera Madrid

The square outside the Opera house is less than a one minute walk away and it has a post box, cocktail bar, Argentinean steak house, theatre, opera house, and the metro, and several buses. Opposite the Hotel Opera Madrid on the side street is an interesting musical instrument shop that sells many things including didgeridoos.

From the square you can walk along Calle Arenal, which leads to the official centre of Madrid, the Puerta del Sol. The whole street is filled with clothes and shoe shops and you’ll find banks here too. If you’re looking for nightlife, two of Madrid’s most famous clubs, the Palacio Gaviria and Joy are also on the Arenal.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport will be about 30 minutes to the hotel, and cost 22 to 25 euros (airport supplement included), depending on traffic, and assuming you haven’t overdone it on the quantity of baggage! (Assuming that all baggage fits inside the boot and interior of the taxi).

Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport to arrive at Opera  metro near the Hotel Opera Madrid. Line number 8 leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. I’ve given the quickest route below with the stations where you need to change listed:

Metro: Nuevos Ministerios (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Cuatro Caminos (Grey Line, L6, Circular) Then change and head for Opera (Red Line, L2).

Via Bus: The red EMT public bus from the airport goes to Avenida America. The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s quicker to change to the metro.
