Set on Calle Zorrilla, close to Madrid's Paseo del Prado, El Autor Hotel Madrid, Autograph Collection brings a composed boutique presence to the Spanish capital's literary and cultural quarter. Behind its historic façade, rooms and suites are crisp and contemporary, with pale walls, tailored beds and quietly decorative detail. El Pimiento Verde restaurant, a fitness room and intimate lobby spaces keep the hotel compact and urbane rather than resort-like. The location places guests between the Cortes district, the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and Madrid's central galleries and theatres.
