Overlooking the Neptune Fountain
and its quiet plaza, the Westin Palace lies opposite the Prado and Thyssen-Bornemisza
museums and is two blocks from the Reina Sofia Art Centre.
The palatial hotel was built
in 1912 on the former site of the palace of the Duke and Duchess of Medinaceli.
Just 1.5 kilometres from
the hotel is the Filmoteca Nacional showing a rich choice of art house
cinema, including matinee performances and original language versions. |
|
|
The entrance hall, decorated
with murals of Italian Renaissance gardens, leads through to Rotunda Hall
which is crowned with an Art Nouveau glass dome.
Dining options include international
and Spanish dishes at the informal La Rotonda, and Chinese cuisine at Asia
Gallery. A complimentary breakfast is served daily.

Set in the most dramatic
room of the hotel, the Palace Bar is dominated by an Art Nouveau stained-glass
dome with flower motif, from which a large chandelier is suspended. Cocktails,
and a choice of over 700 wines from the adjoining cellar, are served here,
and live piano music is played for afternoon tea.
The 18 meeting rooms and
banquet lounges are soundproofed and equipped with microphones and audio-visual
systems. Some of the rooms are wood-panelled with Venetian chandeliers,
and all benefit from natural daylight.
|
| The business centre adjacent
to the front desk has telephone and fax services, high-speed Internet access
(surcharge), telephone booths, and a meeting area.
Club Neptuno fitness centre
is open round the clock and offers rooftop views across the Buen Retiro
Park. There are around 20 cardiovascular machines, free weights, a sauna,
and a sunbed, and massage treatments are available.
Beauty treatments including
facials, massage, manicure and pedicure, are available on the sixth floor,
and a small hairdressing salon is located on the second floor. |
