Hotel Ateneo Madrid

General Information

The Ateneo hotel, which was designed as the 1st Ateneo (cultural and public meeting point) in Madrid 2 centuries ago, is now an entirely renewed building housing a trendy hotel. The premises was planned by one of the majority great Spanish architects from the eighteenth century, Ventura Rodriguez, who was disciple of the Italian Filippo Juvarra and Giovanni Battista Sacchetti, therefore providing a essential contribution to the transition from Spanish Barroque to Neoclassicism. The Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace (which consists of some works of Ventura Rodriguez) in addition to the Prado, Reina Sofia and Thyssen Bornemisza museums are all within short distance of the premises. Facilities include a comfortable dining room, an Internet Point in the reception, a twenty-four hour facade table, satellite television suite and homely lodgings with ADSL Internet access.
