NH COLLECTION MADRID PALACIO DE TEPA, Madrid

The hotel sits in Barrio de Las Letras, 350 metres from Puerta del Sol and a 5-minute walk from Plaza Mayor. Sol and Antón Martín metro stations are both within a 5-minute walk. The Prado Museum, Reina Sofía Art Centre, and Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum are all within 1 km of the hotel.

Rooms offer soundproofing and a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and a minibar. The hotel occupies a Neoclassical-style building that preserves the remains of Madrid's historical canal system, visible inside the property. That archaeological feature earned the hotel a European Hotel Design Award in Renovation & Restoration.
