There are hotels that are worth their weight in history, and in De Salas We like to think that we are experts at finding places that exude charm, just like our homes. And since we want our clients and friends to feel just as comfortable whenever they travel or want to live experiences, we have discovered two wonderful accommodations that meet all our requirements.
For the first one we are going to stay in Madrid, specifically in the Plaza Mayor, without going any further. It has turned 400 years old and maintains its charm intact, so staying in its vicinity is a luxury, which is now possible with the help of the hotel. Plaza Mayor tab.
Located in two historic buildings such as the House of the Butcher and an old fire station, belongs to Pestana Hotel Group, the same ones that run Cristiano Ronaldo's hotel in the heart of Gran VĂa, also in Madrid.
The 6.500 square meters had been abandoned and unused for several years, which today have been converted into a wonderful 89-room hotel with an outdoor pool, spa, restaurant or café. But at all times we have sought to respect as much as possible both the architectural value and the history they represent.
Recovery of exterior carpentry, facades, tiles, exposed brick panels of the original walls, Elizabethan lamps and even the vaults of the spa and gym, everything has been recovered with care so that it does not lose the essence of what it once was, and remains.
The second is a true journey through time and history, and takes us to London in 1730, specifically to Monkey Island, one of the river islands that dot the course of the River Thames and belongs to the county of Berkshire. The hotel chain is right there YTL has renovated the house that Charles Spencer, third Duke of Marlborough, acquired at the time.
El Monkey Island Inn It is unique in its conception, like a very white house in the middle of the forest that covers the entire island, and that hides inside a careful British inspiration both in furniture and in the concept of accommodation that seeks to make the guest feel at home.
The name comes from the paintings in one of the rooms of the main pavilion, the famous Monkey Room, whose ceiling is covered in monkeys made by the French artist Andie de Clermont at the beginning of the 18th century.
Today, this accommodation consists of 27 rooms and three luxury suites, all decorated with furniture that combines timeless glamor with the traditional characteristics of a modern and relaxed country style, creating a unique blend of past and present.
History and hotels go hand in hand in these wonderful accommodations, which will delight the most demanding clients and will more than respond to the restless minds of those looking for a step further when choosing a destination.
