Pestana Plaza Mayor Madrid is the first hotel in the history of Plaza Mayor, offering 89 rooms and suites, of which almost half face the Plaza Mayor square, offering both elegant and contemporary design.
The hotel features an outdoor pool located at the top of the building, ideal for those Spanish summer days, with views over the historic rooftops of Madrid. The Spa, located on the level below the square, offers an immediate atmosphere of tranquillity with its indoor pool and traditional vaulted brick ceilings, a fully equipped treatment centre, a fitness centre and various other breathtaking surrounding and unique spaces, ideal for holding events.
The hotel’s restaurant offer includes the RIB | Casa de la Carnicería | Beef & Wine, specializing in meat, and the Cafeteria on the Plaza Mayor square, dedicated to tapas and snacks, as well as a cocktail bar, the Coqueteleria evocative of Madrid’s most bohemian years, for pre or post-dinner cocktails and drinks.
Located in Plaza Mayor, in the heart of Madrid’s capital, Pestana Plaza Mayor Madrid encompasses two historic buildings – the 17th century Casa de la Carnicería and an old fire station. This hotel is a true tribute to its original architecture, in which its solid walls, reveal the 400 years of history of the Plaza Mayor, one of the most emblematic of Europe, while its interiors pay homage to the work of the old craftsmen, weavers, carpenters, blacksmiths and potters.
The hotel is only a stone’s throw from the main monuments and highlights of the city, including the Puerta del Sol, the Royal Palace, Catedral de la Almudena, Gran Via, Callao Square, the Debod Temple or the iconic El Rastro market. The Paseo del Arte, where you’ll find large museums such as the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen, is only 20-minute walk away.
