Hotel Location And Facilities

Downstairs from the hotel is a Hard Rock Café with a nice outdoor terrace filled with trees and plants. In 5 minutes you can walk across the Plaza Colon onto Calle Genova which leads uphill past the metro station. This street is filled with restaurants offering food from all over the world. You'll also find banks, food stores and newsagents along this road.
At the bottom of Calle Genova is the Waxworks Museum which is a popular tourist attraction. From the Plaza Colon, the Paseo del Prado begins, and it leads to the famous Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza museums. The journey is less than 5 minutes by taxi.
