MINIATURE DESIGN SPACE

On the western extension of Prado Museum， surrounding Reina Sofia Art Centre， Puerta del Sol， Teatro Caser Calderon de Madrid and Monumental Theatre， stands Madrids hotel cluster. Perhaps NH Palacio de Tepa hotel doesnt stand out in the thicket. Only when you check into this elegantly furnished hotel can you truly experience its glamor. Located in an 18th century Spanish architecture， with recent renovations that add modern convenience to historical splendor， NH Palacio de Tepa hotel reflects the efforts by designers to turn an ancient building into a five-star accommodation.

HOUSE OF ELEGANCE

THE HOTEL VILLA MAGNA

Spanish cuisine certainly delights your palate， but long travel in Madrid will kindle your longing for Chinese food. The Tse Yang restaurant becomes your destined place. It cooks the most authentic Chinese cuisine in whole Madrid， even in Spain. Facing Hotel Villa Magna， the Villa Magna made the ransition to its current fivestar status after an extremely thorough renovation. Ash black， the theme color of Hotel Villa Magna， gives off whispered opulence and fashion. The scenes of Serrano Street and Castellana Avenue are unobtrusive. All rooms have a spacious cloakroom， and you dont need to worry about the space to store bargain hunting trophies.

Holiday Inn Madrid

Real Madrids Santiago Bernabeu stadium is in sight of Holiday Inn Madrid， also the one hotel that I stayed longest time on the trip to Madrid. Into the lobby， you would join in the crowd of business travelers lugging suitcase or carrying briefcase. Holiday Inn Madrid boasts some of the largest meeting facilities in the city center. People have a misplaced idea that Holiday Inn is the foreign equivalent of Home Inns in China， but actually it shows very high quality and price ratio. A over 20-squaremeter guest room has a balcony that can capture panorama of CBD. Holiday Inn Madrid prepares teakettles for Chinese guests to drink hot water. A well-equipped fitness center and a summer swimming pool are located on the roof top， opening all the time except winter. Conduct your business in one of 9 well-appointed meeting rooms， or hold meeting in the facilities with capacity for up to 100 people. Holiday Inn Madrid neighbors with pedestrian streets of Calle de Orense and Calle de Lafuente accessible to Zara Home and Massino Dutti， opposite Starbucks， as El Corte Ingles department store is less than 10-minute walk， a prime location for travelers.
