The staff at this hotel were very friendly and helpful, and gave me an extensive guided tour round all the hotel facilities. It’s an ornate building, and the hotel has its own café / restaurant that is also open to the public, called the San Luis. Should you find yourself wandering around the outside looking for the way in, look for the arrows on the windows that point to the main entrance.

The reception isn’t the most glamorous I have ever seen, but it more than compensates with the vast amount of information available about things to do in the area, and the excellent customer service. As soon as you enter you’ll be soothed by the sound of running water from the waterfall that trickles alongside a sweeping staircase that leads down to the main restaurant.

Hotel Facilities

The café / restaurant San Luis is decorated in the style of the 1900s and has a lot of character. You can book the restaurant in advance for private parties, as it holds up to about 50 people. From the bar there’s an excellent selection of drinks, tapas and a variety of other dishes are available. There’s a second, more official restaurant downstairs too.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Senator Hotel Madrid is in a fantastic central area. Within 1 minutes walk you’ll find banks, shops, bars and restaurants. The metro is literally 2 metres from the hotel, and there’s newsstand right outside too. The Gran Via road is full of theatres, and the biggest musicals always play there. You can walk to the official centre of Madrid (Puerta del Sol) in less than 10 minutes, where you’ll find the big department stores of FNAC and El Corte Ingles, where there’s also a supermarket.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport should take about 30 minutes and cost 22 to 25 euros (including airport supplement), depending on much traffic there is, and assuming there is no excess baggage (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 Gran Via metro near the Senator Hotel 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: Mar de Cristal (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Diego de Leon (Brown Line, L4) Then change and head for Gran Via (Green Line, L5).

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