Reina Victoria Hotel

ME Madrid Reina Victoria by Meliá is a 4-star design hotel set in a 19th-century building on Madrid's historic Plaza Santa Ana, in the heart of the Literary Quarter (Huertas). Formerly the classic Reina Victoria hotel — famous as the old "bullfighter" hotel- it kept its original façade while its interior was fully reimagined into an eclectic, avant-garde style mixing designer furniture, contemporary art, and neutral tones. It's just a few hundred meters from Puerta del Sol, with the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía museums all within easy walking distance, and Sevilla and Antón Martín metro stations nearby. Rooms feature views overlooking Plaza de Santa Ana or Plaza del Ángel; some suites add terraces, spa baths, and dining areas for entertaining. The hotel's standout feature is its rooftop, Radio Rooftop Bar, offering panoramic city views and a lively nightlife scene, alongside an on-site restaurant, fitness facilities, and meeting spaces for business travelers. Guests frequently praise the unbeatable central location and attentive staff, though some reviews mention noise from the lively plaza below or nearby construction.
