Literature can be found in every corner of the Iberostar Las Letras Gran Vía and, just like your favourite book, it will whisk you away from the moment you arrive. Literary quotes adorn the walls of its rooms and famous writers have used its library to write and present their stories and novels. From A to Z, we’ll tell you the story of this hotel on Madrid’s Gran Vía.

• A is for Anti-stress. That’s the essence of our hotel rooms. Take your pick from rooms with a whirlpool bath, with strawberries and cava for a romantic getaway, with views of the Gran Vía,… and even rooms with two terraces! Room service is available for all rooms, and you can also choose the pillow that’s perfect for you.
• D is for Delicious. Omelette with garlic sprouts, lamb chops, Madrid-style bream, garlic soup, king prawn cocktail… At the Gran Clavel you will experience the authentic gastronomy of Madrid. Three spaces (restaurant, vermouth bar, and wine bar) with unique, contrasting menus, decor and identities but one shared goal: to be an ambassador of the cuisine of Madrid. The gastronomic options offered at the Iberostar Las Letras Gran Vía restaurants are inspired by poetry!
• G is for Glamour. Presentations from renowned brands, cultural events, awards and fashion galas… This hotel is one of the most centrally located in all of Madrid, and its versatile spaces are perfect for organising your events, including your wedding!
• M is for My Pet. Holidays just aren’t the same without the furry members of your family. This hotel is Pet friendly so you can bring your pet with you. For a small supplement, you can book a room with a balcony or terrace, along with little extras including a special bed and water and food bowls. Just like we do for you, we’ll make sure your pet has everything it needs.
• T is for Toned. If you’d like to clear your mind with a quick cardio session or by putting in a few miles on the exercise bike, our 24-hour fitness centre is waiting for you. We also have nutritionists and a personal trainer on hand to help you reach all of your fitness goals.
• P is for Pool. During the summer season, you can relax in the pool on the sixth floor. Alternate taking in the view of the most emblematic places in Madrid with having a refreshing dip or relaxing on the sun terrace. 
• Z is for “MadriZ”. “Madrileños” are well-known for their unique accent, and often exchanging d’s for z’s. Listen out for it as you walk with locals down narrow streets that lead to the Plaza Mayor, grab a calamari sandwich for lunch, take a stroll through Retiro Park or spend a Sunday at the Rastro, the city’s largest street market.

You can’t leave the Iberostar Las Letras Gran Vía without:

• Trying cocido madrileño (Madrid-style stew). This dish is a rite of passage for any trip to Madrid, and you can savour the broth, vegetables, meat and chickpeas of this traditional recipe in our hotel.
• Strolling through the Barrio de las Letras (Literary Quarter) and travelling back to Spain’s Golden Age along a trail of literature, historical buildings and bookstores.
• Discovering Madrid’s skyline. Go up to the Ático 11 terrace and enjoy one of the most gorgeous sunsets in the city.

The best-kept secret:

A hundred-year-old hotel. The Iberostar Las Letras Gran Vía was built over a hundred years ago. As you wander through this age-old building, keep an eye out for details such as its grand antique staircase and the Sevillian tiles that decorate several of its walls. Imagine the stories they could tell!
