 "This Madrid member of the prestigious Hoteles Catalonia chain occupies a renovated 18th-century house halfway between Plaza de las Cortes and lively Plaza Santa Ana in a former bohemian zone known as the Barrio de las Letras" 
 "It’s something of an oasis surrounded by the nonstop energy of the streets in this barrio" 
 "This initially unassuming 18th-century palace has been
beautifully restored and retains much of its elegant baroque-style interiors -- the
suites' ceiling frescos are particularly striking" 
 "Premium rooms lack access to a private lounge, but they do supply better exposures, robes, slippers, complimentary bottled water, coffeemakers and larger proportions"
