My amigo and I decided to splurge a little and stayed at this beautiful looking hotel right in the heart of what amounts to Madrid's museum district (The Reina Sofia & Prado within walking distance). There is a bidet, something fascinating for any inexperienced American, and a wonderful cotton robes for post-shower lounging around. And if you want to watch a Chris Rock movie in German try flipping on the television. We were out late most nights and it was sometimes a hassle trying to get someone to let you in however this is class as best illustrated in that movie Trading Places.
Emperador Stay

I would not stay at the Emperador again. There wasn't an iron in the entire hotel, and one would have to send out all clothing to be pressed. There was no hair conditioner, no tissues. The pool, the best feature of the hotel, was frigid and way too cold to even take a dip in.In general, Spanish speaking is a must in Madrid.
