In Madrid's Barrio de las Letras, Radisson Blu Hotel, Madrid Prado sits close to the Prado Museum, the Royal Botanical Gardens and Retiro Park. The hotel occupies a redesigned twentieth-century noble residence, with rooms and suites shaped around a softened Mediterranean palette and contemporary details. Lona restaurant and the terrace on Plaza Plateria bring a local, social feel to the public spaces, while the spa adds a quiet counterpoint to the cultural intensity outside. It is a compact, well-placed hotel for Madrid's galleries, parks and literary quarter.
