Madrid is Spain's main business hub: Barajas airport is one of the world's busiest, the city has several convention centers and many more events halls, a number of important companies call Madrid home, and more business towers are being planned. For a smooth business trip, we've put together a list of the most business traveler-friendly hotels.
Our top pick is the Eurobuilding, a modern and classy, full-service hotel for business travelers. It has different-sized meeting and conference rooms as well as restaurants recommended for networking. However, we recommend making some time for rest and relaxation at the Elysium spa.
Our second pick for business travel-friendly hotels is the Abba Castilla Plaza Hotel. The four-star establishment is located between the Kio Towers and the Cuatro Torres Business Area in Madrid's northern business district. We recommend staying in one of the executive rooms, as they're more attractive than the standard rooms. Additional services at the hotel include Wi-Fi, personal shopping, and Thai massage.
The Novotel Campo de las Naciones hotel is located next to the IFEMA convention center, which is quite convenient for trade fair attendees. Note that the hotel has meeting rooms, a shuttle to the nearby airport, and an early bird breakfast beginning at four a.m.
