Like any brilliant hotel these days, the first thing you see is a big, inviting lobby bar with plenty of leather-covered couches, armchairs, and bar stools to sit in. The bar itself is an island, with a nifty hanging liquor shelf. The Rockwell Group Madrid designed it to be glamorous in a way that works for the hotel's history and location—in other words, not unwarranted or needlessly flashy. Also, the space is big; and in a city crammed with small bodegas and wine bars, where room to move about comes at a premium, it feels like a place you'd want to come and hang out in for a while.
Here's the thing: Some rooms face the street, and some don't. Those with street views are utterly charming—think the Spanish take on the rooftop views you've seen from Parisian or Roman balconies a million times (chimneys, window boxes, and terraces stacked three or four stories high). That said, this area of Madrid is getting very popular at night, and Madrileños stay out later than even New Yorkers—so you might hear some noise outside your window until as late (or early) as 5 a.m. Rooms are tastefully done—modern, but restrained—maybe in nod to the hotel's history (it first opened in 1886).
Located in the Barrio de las Letras, Gran Hotel Inglés - The Leading Hotels of the World is set on a 19th century building, and offers 5* accommodation 300 m from Puerta del Sol and only 600 m from the main museums.

Granada-born Manuel Liñán is the face of modern flamenco and one of its greatest ambassadors today. He can sensitively connect his art to issues in society. From New York to Sydney, his approach to flamenco has earned him standing ovations and sold-out crowds. He currently lives in Madrid, but Granada will always be home.
