We are taking the Best of Spain tour, which finishes in Sevilla. We will be returning to Madrid to catch a flight the following morning.
Can you suggest a hotel in Madrid? A hotel used by a RIck Steves tour?
Thank you,
Peter

The RS tours have used Hotel Europa at the Puerta Del Sol. I’m sure other hotels are used too.
To get to the airport one can take a taxi, the metro, or a train. We always take the metro and it takes about 45 minutes. The Sol station is about 50 yards from the hotel. The metro opens at 6am. The easiest is probably a taxi.
We’ve stayed at the Europa the past three years with our most recent stay being in October. We enjoy its location and people watching at the outdoor cafe downstairs.

I strongly discourage the Madrid Airport Hilton. It was not a positive experience for us. Noise throughout the night and see through bathrooms that means that if you aren't intimate friends with your travel companions before your trip, you will be afterwards.......
