Hotel Hesperia Madrid, opened in 2001, this stylish hotel is in the business and diplomatic district on grand Paseo de la Castellana, adjacent to Plaza de España and two km from the Royal Palace.
Interior decorator Pascua Ortega (designer of Madrid’s Royal Theater) has created a minimalist setting of natural fabrics (wood and leather) and neutral colors enlivened with bronze and gold. This, together with efficient but friendly service from the young staff (auditioned with help from a local theater director) draws successful business people, footballers, stars, and the trendy set. |

| PROPERTY AMENITIES |

* Santceloni restaurant: The Catalan cuisine of chef and restauranteur Santi Santamaria is served at this one Michelin starred restaurant, situated on the lower ground floor with street access. Slightly departing from the neutral tones of the hotel’s public spaces, interior decorator Pascua Ortega has injected rich green banquets into the neutral mix, and chequered marble in black and white lining some of the walls.
* La Manzana: Buffet breakfast and modern Mediterranean cuisine for lunch and dinner is served in this informal restaurant, overlooking the central atrium lounge, with seating for around 50 diners. Paella with vegetables or lobster is a favorite. Vegetarian and low calorie dishes are available. The decor – neutral tones lifted with beige and gold - draws on the restaurant’s inspiration. La Manzana is named after the Spanish word for the golden apple which Hercules searched for in The Gardens of Hesperides.
* Scotch Bar: Dark burnished wood, soft beige suede banquettes and the glinting bottles of the well stocked bar create a gentleman’s club atmosphere. Although brandies and cocktails, snacks, and cigars are available, the main attraction is the whisky. There are over 70 varieties on offer. Open all day, there is live piano music in the evenings.
* Lucernario: Light pours in through the glass roof of this intimate area, decorated in the style of a Spanish garden, with lemon trees and a central sculpture. Breakfast, light lunch, and afternoon teas (including Jasmine, Earl Grey, and Redberries) are served here.
* Lobby Lounge Bar: Guests can find a seat on the nut-colored sofas or wicker chairs to enjoy snacks and drinks.
* The business center on the first floor is equipped with fax, photocopier, scanner, and four computers with high-speed Internet access. Wireless internet access is available in the lobby and meeting rooms. Each of the three meeting rooms on the lower ground floor - Tapies, Saura, and Chillida - can be split in half and fitted with audio-visual equipment. The biggest, Tapies, can host 550 cocktail-style (280 in theater set-up). Temporary art exhibitions are displayed in the meeting room corridors. |
