“Pestana Collection Plaza Mayor benefits immensely from its location on Madrid's central square. The indoor spa, complete with a heated pool, is a surprising find within the historic building. I believe the rooftop bar, with its views and seasonal pool, elevates the experience, while the restaurant's focus on regional Spanish cuisine should not be overlooked.”

Okay Location, Some Disappointments
faulty blindstrange sink placement
The room's design was problematic. The sink was actually in the bedroom, not in the bathroom itself (this lack of separation felt very strange). the blackout blind on one of the windows facing the back of the building was broken. This allowed a lot of light into the room early in the morning, and the hotel staff didn't repair it .

central locationrooftop poolhelpful staff
The location offered immediate access to the main square. I appreciated the rooftop pool and bar. The hotel also provided a very convenient luggage storage service before check-in. This allowed me to explore freely. I found the staff helpful with directions and recommendations.
The spa area felt somewhat small for the size of the hotel.
