Catalonia Las Cortes

Madrid


Occupying an 18th-century palace and renovated in a style faithful to the era, this elegant hotel is a terrific choice right in the heart of Huertas. It’s something of an oasis surrounded by the nonstop energy of the streets in this barrio. Service is discreet and attentive and the hotel gets plenty of return visitors, which is just about the best recommendation we can give.
