Delicious At The Tapas Bar

“I had the most lovely time at El Prado, especially enjoying the food and drink at the Spanish Tapas Bar. The croquettes were simply delicious, and I couldn't get enough of the Old Fashion cocktails! The atmosphere was inviting and made my dining experience even more enjoyable.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Room

“Our room at El Prado was absolutely beautiful and spacious. It was recently renovated, had great storage space, and, most importantly, the bed was extremely comfortable. I truly felt at home during our stay.” view full review

Cozy Bar Experience

“One of my favorite moments was at the lovely bar on the second floor. It was cozy and cute, making it the perfect spot to relax after a long flight. We shared a delicious charcuterie board and enjoyed two good cocktails that truly hit the spot.” view full review

Luxurious Bathroom Amenities

“The bathroom in our suite was a highlight for me. It featured a rainfall showerhead and a deep soaking tub, making every shower feel like a spa experience. The Molton Brown body products added a touch of luxury to our stays.” view full review
