If you can believe it, the hotels in Las Vegas pale in comparison to the average Madrid hotel. This world-class city exudes an air of sophistication, much like Paris, France or London, England. Madrid hotels in Spain have cosmopolitan exteriors and four or five-star interiors. Many people come to Madrid for its art museums and its fiestas. The people are friendly, the food is delicious and the nightlife is world-renowned. Spain’s best beaches are just a day-trip away in Valencia or Barcelona. Madrid holds many rewards for the seasoned traveler.

Hotel Ritz is perhaps the most booked Madrid hotel. This elaborate building has housed the likes of His Majesty King Alfonso XIII, but today it’s heralded for its excellent location, as it is mere steps from Retiro Park, Teatro de la Zarzuela, the Prado museum, the Thyssen Bornemisza and the Centro de Arte Monderno Reina Sofia. Hotel Ritz offers all the modern amenities, with marble bathrooms, hand-woven carpets, embroidered linen sheets and stunning views of the garden hotel, the lealtad square or The Prado. You can also feast until your heart’s content at Goya, which dishes out local favorites and international cuisine alike. For more information, visit www.ritzmadrid.com.

If a “ritzy” Madrid hotel isn’t really your thing, then you’ll be happy to learn there are many hostel choices in the city. For just $19/night, you can stay at the Mad Hostel, the Cat’s Hostel, International Hostel Posada de Huerta, Hostal Oporto or HostelOne Centro. These budget accommodations are ideal for young people looking to mingle with other travelers and fiesta every night, although many couples who care more about the adventure than hanging out in their hotel room also enjoy this experience. Many budget hotels are located right in the heart of downtown, with museums, shops, restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Visit www.hostels.com for more information.
