Pestana Plaza Mayor Madrid, Madrid Hotels
Luxurious Plaza Mayor hotel with plush rooms, a spa, indoor/outdoor pools, a library, and terrace dining
Overview
Immerse yourself in the heart of the city with a stay directly on Plaza Mayor, at this elegant Pestana hotel. The hotel forms a distinguished part of the famous square’s perimeter, offering an unparalleled experience. Housed within a building boasting over 400 years of history, this establishment seamlessly blends the charm of the past with the conveniences of the present. Although the hotel itself opened its doors in 2019, it showcases meticulously restored 17th-century architecture alongside an array of 21st-century amenities, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay for every guest.
The hotel features 90 thoughtfully designed rooms, each offering a haven of comfort and relaxation. For those seeking a more spacious retreat, consider upgrading to a larger unit. To truly capture the essence of your stay, request a room that overlooks the iconic Plaza Mayor. From the privacy of your own room, you can soak in the vibrant atmosphere of the square at any time of day or night. Alternatively, retreat to the hotel’s large library lounge, which also provides an exceptional vantage point for viewing the square. Furthermore, an outdoor terrace on the square is exclusively reserved for hotel guests, offering a prime location for people-watching and enjoying the city’s energy.
Beyond the rooms and lounges, you’ll discover even more opportunities for relaxation and recreation. Ascend to the rooftop terrace and take a refreshing dip in the pool, or simply bask in the sun while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding cityscape. A beautiful inner courtyard provides a tranquil oasis, while the inviting lobby lounge offers a welcoming space to unwind and socialize.
Pros
- The hotel’s prime location on Plaza Mayor provides unparalleled access to the city’s main attractions and cultural experiences, complemented by a large lounge that directly overlooks the bustling square.
- Enjoy the luxury of private balconies, offered even in the most standard rooms, providing a personal space to soak in the atmosphere.
- Indulge in delectable breakfast options and a variety of other meals at the on-site restaurant, which boasts an atmospheric inner-courtyard terrace for a truly memorable dining experience.
- Guests have access to both a seasonal rooftop pool and sun deck for outdoor relaxation, as well as an indoor pool that remains open throughout the year and is conveniently connected to the hotel’s spa.
Cons
- Plaza Mayor is a popular tourist destination, which means it can sometimes be a bit noisy outside the hotel, particularly during holidays and exciting football matches. Consider this if you are sensitive to noise.
- Due to their relatively smaller size, the pools can become crowded during peak hours. Consider visiting during off-peak times for a more serene experience.

Parking – Check On RequestSpain
You won't need to go far beyond the Alhambra of Granada and the streets of Barcelona to find the real Spain. Step away from the crowds and you'll find that this destination has retained its depth—centuries of history linger in hilltop villages, and wild landscapes abound from the craggy Pyrenees to the Mediterranean coast. This is where you come to revel in the good life, whatever that means to you: hiking through Galicia, embracing the architecture of Bilbao, or eating your way through the Basque Country.
When is the best time to visit?
Generally, April-June and September-October offer the most pleasant weather and fewer crowds than peak summer months. One exception is northern Spain, where springtime sees more rain than in other parts of the country; here, June-September is your best bet. July and August are the hottest months of the year—for sun worshippers, this could be the perfect time to visit.
Where should I go in Spain?
If you're heading to Spain for the highlights, you'll want to start with Madrid, Barcelona, Granada, and Seville. Not your first trip? Consider San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, and Valencia. And if you truly want to venture off the track, craft your itinerary from the literal road less traveled—hike through the Pyrenees to hidden villages, drink wine in La Rioja, explore Mérida and the Extremadura region, and the list goes on.
How many days do I need?
While it's possible to have a fun trip to one of Spain's cities over a long weekend, we recommend at least 5 days if you really want to experience a region. Madrid makes for a great base for taking regional day trips, and the same goes for Barcelona—medieval coastal villages and hiking trails in the Pyrenees are all within driving distance.
If you have 10 days, choose between northern and southern Spain to minimize travel time. A southern route could include Madrid, Mérida (or another stop in Extremadura), Seville, and Granada. Travelers interested in the north can hit Barcelona, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Oviedo, and Santiago de Compostela. With two weeks or more, geography is no longer an issue—just connect the dots to form a country-wide itinerary.
Getting around Spain
Most travelers fly into either Madrid or Barcelona, and short, domestic flights are a convenient way to hop between major cities. Flying is also the best option for reaching the Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla. For areas without airports, Spain’s high-speed AVE trains are fast and comfortable. Driving is another good option, as cities are mostly connected by well-maintained highways.
