Help with Madrid Location
Will be in Madrid I early May. I was looking at this hotel Sheraton Madrid Mirasierra Hotel & Spa Alfredo Marquerie, 43 It seems a bit out of town is it too far? I will be using points so this is one choice. Not sure where in Madrid is best. Being close to the Prado is that the best location?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes, that is a ways out of things likely to appeal to a visitor. Close to the Prado is good, as is some other central location convenient to a metro stop. Google maps (I prefer to "old" version) is very helpful in figuring out this sort of thing.

As noted, the closer to the center of the city the better. The Mirasierra Hotel & Spa is 20 minutes by taxi from the Prado. It will take you over 40 minutes if using the metro. If walking, allow 2 hours.

There are many hotels in the vicinity of the Westin Palace (by the way I've stay in it and liked it very much). Just stayed in Catalonia las Cortes, near Plaza Santa Ana. Its a smaller hotel but very nice.
