The Bar/Lounge at InterContinental Madrid, an IHG Hotel

"The restaurant, located next to the bar, serves fine international cuisine"

"The dependable yet stylish InterContinental lies behind a barrier of trees in a neighborhood of apartment houses and luxury hotels"

"Bar 49 attracts a buttoned up type of clientele, serving sushi, tapas and specialty cocktails like Rossini (fresh strawberries and champagne)"

"In terms of eating and drinking options, the modern Bar 49 is perfect for a cocktail or two before dinner, the El Jardín restaurant serves French cuisine outdoors during the summer months, and the café serves light meals overlooking the lovely garden"

"Visitors can enjoy fine cigars, tapas and designer cocktails in the stylish Bar 49, or a gourmet dinner or piano-accompanied Sunday brunch in the elegant El Jardin restaurant"

"Suites (regardless of floor) benefit from Club lounge access, which includes midday drinks and salty snacks on offer before a plentiful evening happy hour"

"In the 302 elegantly dressed guest rooms and suites, creature comforts include plasma TVs, work desks, safes, mini-bars, pillow selections and coffee and tea makers"

"Bar 49 is a classic hotel bar—all dark wood, mirrors, and gilded sconces"
