Since you come in everything is beautiful except your private chofer is not able to leave you in front of hotel so you have to walk a block with your luggage to come into hotel . Other than this inconvenience, everyone is very nice, they treat you like milionaires . The views of hotel and the 360 bar is wonderful , full of life and sexy . This is more a hotel for young people and couples , not so much for children but you can also bring them alone. The area is very walkable but not quiet , is a very large hotel be ready to see a lot of people and elevators are fast and convenient. I give 5 stars to hotel

Lo único que NO me gusto, en esta época al ser un edificio (antiguo, renovado) el sistema de aire es controlado por ellos el cual estaba por el tiempo "frio" en calefacción, si querías frio tenias que abrir las ventanas para que se enfriara el cuarto y eso provocaba que entrara el ruido de la Gran Vía y estábamos en un piso 14 por lo demas todo bien.

Very large hotel across from Plaza España and walking from many dinning options and great stores like Zara. The breakfast is outstanding but I love their coffee machine that makes espresso, cappuccino, lattes and you can have a pitcher of Americano. Very busy hotel but I like their security feature for the elevator, which is that you need your key to be read outside the elevator and then you can choose the floor you are going.

La atencion y facilidades son extraordinarias. Una sugerencia para la barra del Rooftop, los Cosmopolitan, inclusive los cocteles sin alcohol, no tienen sabor. En un hotel tan prestigioso, la calidad de las bebidas debe ser la misma ya que son costosas. Les recomiendo reevaluar las porciones en los cocteles.
