Ask for a room at the front facing the Neptuno fountainthe higher the better, as the top floors have great views of Madrid's ornate central post office.

"The 467-room Westin Palace is one of the top hotels in Madrid, and is housed in a gorgeous historic building that was commissioned by the king in 1912." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The sheen has never really worn off, thanks to its location just off the Paseo del Prado and to its grandeur, apparent in the marble-floored lobby." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Overlooking the Neptune Fountain and its quiet plaza, the Palace combines classic opulence with cutting-edge facilities."
