A modern, upper-mid-range business hotel on the outskirts of Madrid, the Melia Avenida America is popular with busy business travelers. The large lobby with big bright windows and minimalist furniture can feel cold, but the outdoor terrace and several restaurants are lovely. Rooms follow the same modern, minimalist style and have nice updated bathrooms; however, some rooms can be dark. Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour concierge services, parking, free round trip airport shuttle, and room service are offered. There are some shops and restaurants within walking distance, but it takes 20-minutes to get to central Madrid (or, a 35-45 minute bus ride).

Scene
A clean, contemporary business hotel
The bright, large lobby at Melia Avenida
America is filled with wood furniture, striped wallpaper, and white and gray tile floors that
are modern and clean. Gray
seating areas, wood floors, and neutral tones in the on-site restaurant and
bars allow the antique accents and tapestries on the walls to pop, but the hotel could benefit from
a bit more color, as it feels a bit cold and soulless as is. Large windows throughout the common areas provide lots of natural light, and there are free newspapers
and coffee and tea in the lobby. A large outdoor terrace has lots of seating
and the skylights in the spa allow for more natural light, although the wood floors in the spa look worn. This hotel is popular with business travelers, especially since it has 32 meeting rooms and is close to the airport
and business offices.
Location
In a business area next to a park, a 20-minutes drive from central Madrid
The Melia Avenida America is located outside of
central Madrid and has a few restaurants, shops, and public transportation
stops within walking distance. However, a
rental car may be necessary, since it's a 20-minute drive or 40-minute bus ride to downtown Madrid. The Centro Comercial Campo de las Naciones, Madrid Congress Centre, and Las Ventas are all within 10 minutes of the hotel, and the Madrid-Barajas
airport is only five minutes away by car. The hotel offers airport transfers for free and parking for a fee.
Rooms
Modern, contemporary chain style, with stylish tiled bathrooms
The rooms at the Melia Avenida America are decorated in a modern chain-hotel style, with furnishings in shades of brown and red punctuating the neutral-hued backdrop. Red lamps and chairs stand out against the blonde wood and
standard minimalist furniture. Headboards have reading lamps attached and the
artwork in the rooms is nondescript. Some larger rooms have soft
couches in seating areas, while others have walk-in showers with lots of jets, as
well as large jetted soaking tubs. Minibars, free newspapers, air-conditioning,
and flat-screen TVs are standard. Bathrooms have reddish brown tile that feels especially modern, and white, square sinks on a black countertop. There are windows in
the bathrooms out to the bedroom area, which may cause a privacy issue for
some. Bidets and Melia toiletries are also included.
Features
On-site restaurants and bar, full-service spa, many meeting rooms
One of the Melia Avenida America's biggest draws is
its 32 meeting rooms, which are equipped with audiovisual equipment, free Wi-Fi, and
secretarial services. The hotel also has several restaurants -- Escorial
Breakfast Room, La Cheminée Restaurant, Zamora Buffet Restaurant, and the Piano
Bar -- that serve Mediterranean and international dishes. Room service is available,
but has limited hours, and there is a 24-hour front desk and 24-hour concierge services.The full-service on-site spa offers
massages, body scrubs, and facials, as well as access to a Turkish bath, sauna, whirlpool tubs, a small pool, and hydrotherapy area. There’s a large fitness center with a full range of equipment, and a business center with two computers. Free
Wi-Fi and a free round-trip airport shuttle are also included. A breakfast buffet is served daily, for a fee.
