Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Hotel Villa Real, Madrid
The five-star Hotel Villa Real Madrid is a luxury hotel in a prime location in the very centre of Madrid, just walking distance from the sights of Parque del Retiro and Puerta del Sol. The building borders the triangular Plaza de las Cortes and sits opposite from the historic Congress of Deputies building. The atmosphere in this corner of the city is surprisingly peaceful. Hotel Villa Real Madrid is a classic among the luxury city centre hotels in Madrid, offering a traditional service with touches that hark back to a more stylish era. Each guest is welcomed to Hotel Villa Real Madrid by the doorman, who ushers guests into the welcoming atmosphere of the lobby. The hotel building itself dates from the 19th century and interiors show a fusion of old-world and present-day style, owing to a contemporary revamp that saw the hotel upgraded from four to five stars. The lobby area for instance is furnished with sleek leather sofas, dark wood flooring and oversized windows allowing you to watch city life pass by. The eclectic combination of old and new style influences is most epitomised by the unique collection of artwork and archaeological artefacts on display in all public areas. Meanwhile, East 47 Restaurant & Bar shows a much more contemporary style; named after Andy Warhol's New York studio, it houses a cosmopolitan vibe, with iconic pop art prints adorning the walls. This stylish venue is open to the public and accessible directly from the square itself. The menu offers guests and non-guests alike a selection of creative dishes centring on Mediterranean cuisine, while late risers will enjoy late-running breakfasts which are served until 1pm. East 47 is split over two levels and you can choose to dine on the terrace overlooking Plaza de las Cortes in order to best immerse yourself in the atmosphere of Madrid's city centre.

About Madrid
An Expressions tailor-made holiday to Madrid is a chance to explore this lively and passionate capital city with a laid-back lifestyle. Atmospheric cobbled streets link bustling squares which are filled with pavement cafes, whilst tree-lined boulevards are overlooked by neo-classical buildings. Our luxury holidays to Madrid feature some of the best four- and five-star hotels in the city, including elegant hotels and more boutique properties. Visitors to Madrid will find plenty to fill their days. Art and culture play an important role, primarily thanks to the three world-class art museums which make up Madrid’s Golden Triangle of Art, home to works by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Francisco de Goya. Illustrating the city’s rich history are the sights of Old Madrid, including the lavish Royal Palace, the grand Plaza Mayor, and the city’s spiritual centre – Puerta del Sol. There are plenty of designer shops to browse throughout the city, as well as small boutiques and flea markets which visitors might stumble across. It is after dark that Madrid really comes alive as the streets, parks and open-air cafes fill with people of all ages and the bars and clubs remain open until dawn. What better way to recover from a late night than to while away a morning in the Parque del Retiro, strolling through the beautiful gardens and perhaps hiring a rowing boat on the park’s tranquil lake. For those who wish to escape the energetic city, a number of towns are located nearby which make for an interesting day trip.
