Petit Palace Posada del Peine

Madrid


This hotel combines a splendid historic building (dating to 1610), brilliant location (just 50m from Plaza Mayor) and modern hi-tech rooms. Rooms are beautifully appointed, bathrooms sparkle with stunning fittings and hydromassage showers, and many historical architectural features remain in situ in the public areas. It’s just a pity some of the rooms aren’t larger.
