NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding

Housed in a large, 15-story gray building, the property fits in seamlessly in this business-oriented neighborhood. Extensive renovations in mid-2014 upgraded the famous but aging Eurobuilding to NH Collection status (the NH chain’s high-end brand) and gave it a more luxurious, polished look. With a mix of gray concrete walls and chic decor, common spaces have an industrial feel that's modern and upscale. The lobby is large and stylish, with golden textured accent walls, wine-colored armchairs with gold touches, and black accents that stand out against the gleaming white floors. The most striking feature in the lobby is the ceiling -- a huge curved LED screen, that changes colors, running the length of the space and setting the mood for a high-tech stay. From rooms to meeting spaces, the hotel is chock-full of gadgets, including projectors in bathrooms, wireless phone chargers, and cutting-edge 3D technology in the convention center. 

The NH Eurobuilding is located on a relatively quiet street in the business district of Cuzco/Plaza de Castilla. The area is busy during the day, but empties out at night, particularly during the week. Few major attractions can be reached on foot, but the location is great for those who want to catch a game at Santiago Bernabeu stadium -- where soccer team Real Madrid plays -- and business travelers who need to be close to the financial district. There are numerous restaurants for every budget in this area, and hopping Avenida de Brasil draws a young crowd every weekend. The hotel is three blocks from Cuzco Metro station and Castellana avenue, which makes it easy to get to the city center using public transportation. Sol, Gran Via, and the Prado Museum are a 30-minute Metro or bus ride away.

The hotel has 427 sleek, modern rooms with large windows overlooking the street, plush beds with underbed lights, and several pillows. Upscale amenities include flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, fully stocked minibars, free Wi-Fi, and electric kettles, and a few units have furnished terraces. High Tech Rooms offer additional perks such as Ultra HD TVs, wireless chargers, intelligent night lights, and projectors in the bathrooms. Decor is stylish and contemporary throughout, with polished wooden floors, slick white furniture, and gray and eggplant-colored accents. A few rooms have red accent walls and matching chairs. 

Open bathrooms are spacious and chic in all units, and have walk-in showers with rain showerheads and nice hotel-brand toiletries. The shower and toilet areas have frosted glass doors for privacy. VIP Level units offer free access to the spa and a private lounge offering free drinks and hors d’oeuvres. 

The hotel caters to business travelers with a large convention center comprised of 27 meeting rooms featuring cutting-edge gadgets, including 3D technology, high-end videoconferencing equipment, and HD projectors. For more casual business gatherings, the stylish outdoor terrace offers bar service. The hotel is known for its fine-dining options, including DiverXO, which has been awarded three Michelin stars. Additionally, there is a sushi bar, wonderful Mediterranean restaurant with a contemporary twist, and large breakfast room where a sumptuous spread is served every morning. DOMO Bar is helmed by Diego Cabrera, one of Spain’s top mixologists. The hotel also has a high-end spa with a hydrotherapy area, a pool, and treatment cabins, as well as three outdoor paddle courts, and a top-notch fitness center with a wide array of machines, group classes, and personal trainers. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, but there is a fee for parking.
