NH Abascal

You'll be impressed by this four-star hotel's spectacular neoclassical façade. The bedrooms and public rooms are luxurious, decorated with designer furniture and authentic works of art. The surrounding area is full of good bars and restaurants. La Folie discothèque, popular with the jet-set, is just round the corner. It's in an up-market area close to Paseo de la Castellana and the smart shops on Calle Serrano. From here, you have easy access to the rest of the city. The hotel opened in 1998 and is in the Gold Series category.
