Palacio de los Duques Gran Meliá - The Leading Hotels of the World
This hotel was lovely. It is in a terrific central location, but it is on a quiet street. We stayed on the Red Level, and the access to the lounge was great. I worked there some afternoons, and it made working on vacation a little better! I would not hesitate to return!
