On my recent trip to Madrid, I had the pleasure of staying at the charming Meliá Barajas for two nights. From the moment I arrived, the experience was nothing short of delightful. Modern hotel in a residential area near the airport, Trade Fair Center and Conference Hall with a cozy vibe.

My room at the Meliá Barajas was my haven of tranquility. It was spacious and impeccably tidy. Plus, the whisper-quiet atmosphere gave me a wonderful night's sleep in the dreamy, king-sized bed.


The hotel effortlessly balances convenience and comfort. My room was a haven of cleanliness and tranquility—spacious, impeccably tidy, and whisper-quiet. The bed?

As you walk along the street through the historic Gran Vía, at the end of the street, you are greeted with a view of Plaza de Cibeles. At the center of the square sits the magnificent Cibeles Fountain, an iconic landmark in Madrid. The 18th-century fountain stands as an ode to the Roman goddess of nature, Cybele, and serves as a powerful reminder of the grandeur of Spain’s history and its beauty. The plaza is surrounded by grand historical buildings including the Banco de España, the Palacio de Cibeles, and the Museo del Prado. It’s a hub for Madrilenians, who gather around the fountain to chat and watch the world go by. There’s a lot to see here. It’s a great place to spend some time and soak up the rich atmosphere of the Spanish capital.
