NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding

Hotel

My visit to the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding came just a few weeks after the hotel’s re-opening, which unveiled its new, modern feel. The lobby was buzzing with guests, dispersed throughout its many various seating areas; the hum in the air may have been due to the next evening’s Real Madrid futbol match, as the hotel is on the same block as Bernabeu Stadium and many were in town to witness the match-up. Despite arriving before designated check-in time, my room was ready.

 

My guestroom was gorgeous, and the freshness of it was as evident as the warming sun shining through the large windows. I liked the fact that the desk faced the wall of windows. A small table flanked the desk. The updated décor featured a soothing white and silverish-gray palette, with pops of purple. Upon entering, the bathroom was to the left, separated from the room by a glass panel with shutters that could be opened or closed for privacy. The shower was enormous and lush, with my favorite feature — a rainfall showerhead. A long bench and TV/minibar unit led the way into the bedroom, across from which sat the king-sized bed, with two small end tables on either side. A gray armchair provided additional seating.

 

The fitness center is impressive — large, with the latest equipment and personal training services available. Locals can purchase monthly memberships. A spa and paddle courts cap off the wellness offerings.

 

I enjoyed an impressive breakfast buffet the morning of my departure at Praga, and a late night cocktail in the lobby bar. I’m disappointed to have missed the opportunity to dine in the other on-site outlets — Domo, mentored by acclaimed Chef Paco Roncera and featuring one of Spain’s most prestigious bartenders, Diego Cabrera; DiverXO, serving the innovative cuisine of David Muñoz, currently changing the face of Spanish gastronomy; and 99 Sushi Bar.

 

A Madrid institution since the building opened in 1973, the hotel is reclaiming its former glory with the recent renovation. I only wish my one-night stay was longer.
