Orfila

Fodor's Review:

This elegant 1886 town house, hidden away on a leafy little residential street not far from Plaza Colón, has every comfort of a larger hotel, but in more intimate, personalized surroundings. Originally the in-town residence of the literary and aristocratic Gomez-Acebo family, Orfila 6 was an address famous for theater performances in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The restaurant, garden (superb for summer dining), and tearoom have period furniture; guest rooms are draped with striped and floral silks. Pros: Quiet street, tasteful and classy decor, really attentive service. Cons: No gym (though the Orfila has an agreement with one nearby, for guests to use for a fee).
