To find the Hotel Santo Domingo Madrid, you have to find go past the main square of Santo Domingo, and look down a smaller side street, next to the metro station. This street is still called Plaza Santo Domingo, but it’s not the main part of the Plaza.

The Hotel Santo Domingo is a Best Western Hotel, and from what I’ve seen of Best Western’s, they tend to pride themselves on their individual touch. No two of their hotels are the same, and so it was a pleasant surprise to see that this hotel is actually also a museum! It is filled with valuable works of art, antiques and imperial looking furniture.
