Gran Meliá Fénix

Gran Meliá Fénix Review

An impressive lobby with marble floors, antique furniture, and a stained-glass dome ceiling define the style of this refurbished Madrid institution, which now also houses a happening cocktail bar that extends onto a large terrace overlooking Plaza de Colón on the Castellana. The hotel is a mere hop from the posh shops of Calle Serrano. Spacious rooms are decorated in reds and golds; flowers abound. Ask for a room facing the Plaza de Colón; otherwise, the view is rather dreary.
