De Las Letras Review

This hotel is a seamless mix of modern-pop interior design that respects and accents the original details of the 1917 structure (glazed tiles, canopies, original wood-and-iron elevator, wooden staircase, stone carvings). Rooms are painted in tones of ocher, orange, or burgundy and have high ceilings, wooden floors, indirect lighting, and over-the-top modern bathrooms; each junior suite has a terrace with a whirlpool bath. There is also a charming rooftop terrace bar open to the public. Enjoying a meal or a cocktail in the restaurant-lounge on the street level, you would never think you're around the corner from the bustling Gran Vía.
