I stayed in Casa Faraona for 4 nights in a suite room. I think this is the one of the best experiences I take home from Madrid. The location is superb, next to El Retiro park, making the zone very green, clean and relaxing. I think this is the best area to stay in Madrid, cause it is very green, close to El Paseo del Arte, walkable to the old city and all the shopping is right over the corner (literally). This is not an hotel, but a luxury residence that belongs to a company owning several premises in Madrid. That adds a 5D effect to a simple stay: I stayed in a wonderful room, had savoury breakfast a la cart downstairs in Patio de Leones, visited flamenco show for free and had an opportunity to have a complimentary cocktail in Ramses on the ground floor, plus enjoy Six Harmony Spa. The check in and my communication with the staff was quick and easy via whats app. However, one needs to bear in mind that there is no 24h staff service. It was not a problem for me. I would like to thank dear Maureen who made my impression about the stay perfect! The room is gorgeous! Spacious, clean and light. It was made with a top design studio and it feels. Every detail counts. Hand made mattress, heavenly made linens, Olivetti typing machine for some inspiration and vintage touch, Netflix, tea and coffee, beautiful shower… Every time I came back to the room, I was happy. I was a bit nervous when I booked the room cause it looked the courtyard. However, it turned out to be a perfect choice! It is much more quite than the outside. And the room faces wonderful murals, painted by artists for Casa Faraona.
