The Restaurant at Hotel Hospes Puerta de Alcala

"This restaurant has a modern layout and serves a menu of contemporary cuisine"

"The hotel's common areas include a rather dark bar in what was once the library—good for a quiet drink, bad if you're looking for a jumping scene—and a restaurant serving local cuisine in a cozy six-table room with wood-paneled walls and large windows opening out on the plaza"

"The good restaurant is under the direction of an emerging and innovative young chef"

"Outside the rooms, the hotel is equally luxurious, with a full-service spa with a hammam and pool, an award-winning restaurant/bar with outdoor seating, and bicycles to borrow"

"They preserved original architectural details such as ornate crown moldings and wood beams, alongside the café and restaurant’s acclaimed cuisine and prime sidewalk views"
