Crowne Plaza Madrid City Centre

Built in 1953 atop a city garage, the Crowne Plaza could be called the Waldorf-Astoria of Spain. A massive rose-and-white structure soaring upward to a central tower 26 stories high, it's one of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe. Once one of the best hotels in Spain, the Crowne Plaza has long since ceased to be a market leader. Its accommodations include conventional doubles as well as luxurious suites, each containing a sitting room and abundant extras, such as bedside controls and even in some cases alcoves for sitting. Many families are drawn to this hotel because of its spacious accommodations, great location, and special welcome provided by the staff. Each room, regardless of its size, has a marble bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Furniture is usually of a standardized modern style, in harmonized colors. The upper-floor rooms are quieter. Half of the rooms are designated nonsmoking areas. www.frommers.com
