Eurail Hotel Stop: Hit the Tapas Bars from Madrid's Catalonia Las Cortes

If you're Eurailing it through Madrid soon and want a really nice hotel that won't totally break the bank, the Catalonia Las Cortes Hotel isn't bad. Situated in the Plaza de Santa Ana, right in the heart of Madrid, you can get to all the main sightseeing highlights with ease, and hit the nightlife too. And tapas bars, of course. A lot of guest reviews describe spacious rooms and well-equipped bathrooms, along with friendly service.

And while we're talking Madrid, here's somewhere not to stop, at least until October 2008: the Hotel Villa Magna Park Hyatt is about to close and spend $55 million on renovations, increasing the room sizes and adding hi-tech stuff like I-pod ports. Interestingly, Spanish law means they have to keep all the staff on during the 14 month refurbishment so they're being sent on courses to increase both their English and their hospitality skills. Not a bad job!
