We are looking for a nice 4 star hotel, in Madrid, centrally located but not in the 'Gran
Via.for 4 nights in June, 2010. Any recommendations?
Thank you. I forgot, our budget $260.00 a night for 2 adults.

Given the exchange rate, that is not a large budget for a 4 star hotel centrally located in Madrid, but I've often gotten good rooms at very favorable rates at conde duque

Hi

Depending on when in June you might be able to stay at the 5 star uber cool Hotel Urban - http://www.derbyhotels.es/page.php?id=515. Also quoting good rates is the Hotel Quo Puerta del Sol - http://www.hotelquopuertadelsol.com.

June might be high season, but in Summer you can usually get good rates. In any event, check Villa Real,ME at Plaza Santa Ana , Catalonia las Cortes and Westin Palace.

Keep a lookout for Sol Melia offers. Sign up at the solmelia.com site, and there may be an irresistible offer for a nice 4* hotel. Also sign up for TravelZoo, as the same thing often occurs.

Barring a huge conference, I think Madrid tends to be extremely reasonable for hotels, or at least the potential for getting a great deal usually exists.

Thank you so much for the suggestions., I will go to the
sites, and find out. Maybe if a wait longer, the deals
are better. I was looking at the Palace, but it was $385.

You can also try Priceline or Hotwire. I'd probably consider only bidding for a 5*, though, based on what you seem to want. Check out www.betterbidding.com for more information.

I just remembered a great hotel NH paseo del Prado
-4 Star.It's next to the Palace-great location.The rooms are great-I used to stay there when it was called Gran Canarias-bought out by NH 2 years ago.I have stayed at NH hotels throughout Spain and Portugal and have never been disappointed-love their toiletries.
Lots of special offers and with the money you save you can splurge and go to either the Palace or Ritz for tea or brunch!
enjoy!

NH hotels often have great deals too. It's a good idea to sign up at their site.

Thank you Chapla, I was looking for the Gran Canarias Hotel,
because we went to visit the hotel once on a trip to Madrid,
and I loved the location. THANKS, you read my mind!!! I could
not find the Gran Canarias, no wonder!!
