Hotwire Hotel: Help ID Madrid hotel

[cheffip]

Hi

I'm looking ahead to check out prices for a weekend in Madrid May 6 - 8 2011. Hotwire has a 5* in Chamberi - Chamartin - Salamanca with restaurant, business center, hi-speed and fitness for $142 per night with an approval rating from "95% of Hotwire customers". The four icons don't quite match your two already-identified 5's in that district.

Any ideas on what it is?

Also any thoughts about how hard it would be to get a central 5* in Madrid at a lower price than that through Priceline for May?

Are you willing to commit now to a non-refundable purchase for May of next year?

PRICELINE is usually a little cheaper than HOTWIRE (although both services may not give the same rating to the same hotel)

Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases... and your searches too!

This is a match for the Hesperia Madrid. IMO prices between PRICELINE and HOTWIRE don't vary much in Europe compared to the US. Usually prices in Europe go up on HOTWIRE the closer the check-in date gets, hence do not expect a last minute deal.

Thanks for the advice. I thought it might be the Hesperia but it didn't have the suite icon. Although our plans are pretty well locked in for this trip, (girlfriend needs to reserve holidays well in advance), I probably will wait a little while before bidding and will use BB PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links to do so.
