	Hotels in Madrid   Madrid has a large number of high quality hotels, in total there are more than 50,000 hotel beds in the capital out of which more than 24,000 can be classified as four or five star hotels. The majority of first time visitors to Madrid want to stay somewhere near Puerto del Sol and Grand Via, mainly because this is the central tourist area. The 5 star options tend to be located in more upmarket areas outside this tourist center, but the efficient public transport system in Madrid makes getting around to any place in the city quick and easy. Remember that a hotel's official published rate is the "rack rate", and in many cases you can get lower rates than those officially quoted. Check directly with your hotel of choice by internet, or by calling the individual hotel´s reservation desk. High seasons are Easter and Christmas, so avoid those periods if you can. If you decide to go to Madrid during the very hot months of July and August, the capital's low season, you'll usually be able to pick up some very good bargains in the higher priced hotels.
