Hotel Review

Conceived by the famous interior designer Tomás Alía, this dark 1970s-style block taking up one corner of this busy central square cuts a swathe through dull accommodation. Reception is a visual feast and helpful staff guide you to dark corridors and very different rooms, from wide-awake orange to vivid lime green. Go for a suite and linger over breakfast, which overlooks the Plaza. The shopping and nightlife of Chueca couldn’t be closer.
