 The luxurious 5-star AC Palacio del Retiro hotel is located in front of the famous Retiro Park and close to the Paseo de Recoletos. It is perhaps the best located hotel in the city, sitting as it does in the triangle formed by the Thyssen, Prado and Reina Sofia museums.
The building dates from the beginning of the 20th century and it is protected by National Heritage status. Set in the elegant public area of the hotel with privileged views over the Retiro park gardens, the “Indice” restaurant offers a menu derived from the best products on the market, prepared to draw out the best of their natural characteristics and flavours. The hotel’s menu, inspired by the cuisine of the Mediterranean, stands out for its first-rate preparation of the most traditional dishes in Spanish gastronomy.
The hotel also provides a free fitness centre, where you will find bodybuilding equipment, exercise benches, a television and mini Hi-Fi system, as well as a selection of mineral waters, all offered free of charge. Guests can also unwind in the sauna and the Turkish bath.
When you enter your room, you will feel like you have entered into a place deigned to help you rest, like the four pillows on your bed. Exclusive details, such as the special reading lamps on the bed head, smoker/non-smoker rooms, room service and personal climate control. Designed to make you feel that your room is always how you want it.
