The hotel holds a MICHELIN Key and is situated in the Barrio de las Letras, 300 meters from Puerta del Sol and 600 meters from the Prado Museum. Nearby attractions include Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace, which is a 20-minute walk away.

The rooms are soundproofed and allergy-free, with heating and air conditioning available.

Guests can eat at the in-house restaurant or visit LobByto, the cocktail bar located in the hotel's hall, which serves wine, champagne, and craft cocktails. A breakfast buffet with hot and cold options is offered each morning, and the hotel provides breakfast in the room upon request. Live music or performance takes place nightly, and themed dinner nights are organized on-site.
