Gran Meliá Colón Review

Despite its renovation in 2009 many of this classic hotel's original features remain, including a marble staircase leading up to the central lobby, which is crowned by a magnificent stained-glass dome and crystal candelabra—the hotel was originally opened for 1929's Ibero-American Exposition, and each floor celebrates a different Spanish artist, with reproduction paintings set against an artful combination of period and contemporary design. Downstairs is the toreador-themed El Burladero tapas bar and restaurant ($$$), which is packed midday with local business executives. The luxurious spa on the seventh floor offers a range of treatments.
