The hotel’s spa features vaulted ceilings.

The new hotel is comprised of two historic buildings—the 17th century Casa de la Carniceria and a long-standing fire station—and pays tribute to its original architecture, with its walls revealing the 400 years of Plaza Mayor’s history and its interiors honoring the work of traditional craftsmen, weavers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and potters.

Pestana Plaza Mayor Madrid, the first hotel in the history of Plaza Mayor, is located in the center of the city, a short walk from the capital’s other major attractions, such as the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, and the famous Puerta del Sol.
