Fodor's Expert Review ME Madrid Reina Victoria
Pl. de Santa Ana 14, Madrid, Madrid, 28014, Spain Fodor's Choice
In an unbeatable location, this historic hotel used to play host to visiting bullfighters (hence the bulls' heads hanging in the lounge), but it's decidedly more hip these days under the management of Meliá's youthful subdivision, ME. Guest rooms boast memory-foam mattresses, and international outlets. The hotel has a popular (if somewhat unremarkable) plaza-side restaurant, Ana La Santa, and its top floor boasts a notable rooftop bar in Radio, where you can enjoy eclectic tapas and cocktails to the backdrop of 360-degree views.
PROS
- Cool clubby vibe
- Unbeatable location
- Minibars three times the usual size
CONS
- Some rooms are cramped
- Plaza-facing rooms can be noisy
- Key cards demagnetize easily
