NH Nacional

If you're here to visit the art galleries, this four-star hotel is a good choice. It's a beautiful neoclassical style building located opposite the Reina Sofía Gallery. The two other major art galleries - Prado Museum and Thyssen Museum - are within easy walking distance. The comfortable and elegantly decorated bedrooms all have stylish parquet floors. Those on the seventh floor have terraces as well. Atocha railway station is just a stone's throw away and you could spend an enjoyable afternoon in the nearby botanical gardens.
