We are staying at a lovely little boutique hotel called Pestana Plaza Mayor, which backs onto the Plaza Mayor in Madrid. It has winding hallways with brick and beautiful wallpaper. Our room also has a bit of a crazy layout. We have windows on both sides - one goes into a little courtyard - and our room is an L-shape. We have a couch, a little coffee bar area, and a closet in one part of the L, and our bed is in another part of the L. The shower, bathroom, and toilet are in the connection part of the L. It's very comfortable, and the AC is pumping, which we are very happy about.
Upon arrival, we made our way up to the pool. They have two pools: an indoor heated pool and a rooftop pool that is not heated, but with this heat, it felt like it definitely was. An early check-in followed by a swim in the morning was exactly what we needed.
And you may recognize that wallpaper… I had the same wallpaper in my office!
