Hotel

Madrid has splendid hotels all over the city. Since our church is located in the city center and the main areas to visit are around, we would recommend you to choose a hotel in the areas of Center, Retiro, Salamanca (the shopping district), Justicia or Barrio de las Letras. To make your choice easier, we have pre-booked a number of rooms in a hotel located in the Retiro area (see below).

Our proposal - Ayre Gran Hotel Colon

We think that it would be nice to gather as many of you as possible in the same hotel and thus have arranged to block rooms in Ayre Gran Hotel Colon at a special rate for our guests. This is also where we (Teresa and Markus) will be staying the night of the wedding, i.e. 17 October. You can check the hotel's web site here: www.ayrehoteles.com/en/hotel-colon/

For booking a room there, you simply need to:

  1. Contact the hotel directly by phone (+34 91 400 99 00) or e-mail (reservas.colon@ayrehoteles.com)
  2. Book the room(s) for the specific dates giving the hotel the reference "Boda Markus y Teresa" (or "Markus' and Teresa's wedding" if you don't want to practice your Spanish...)

Important information about our hotel proposal:

  • We strongly recommend you to book your room before 15 July 2015 (after that date, we don't have the rooms blocked and it will depend on availability of the hotel).
  • You can book rooms for the nights from Friday 16 October 2015 (inclusive) onwards. Currently, Ayre Gran Hotel Colon does not have availability for the days before 16 October 2015 due to an important congress in Madrid (see section "Other information and alternatives" below for more details on this).
  • You will pay directly in the hotel (i.e. no pre-payment is required).
  • Below are the prices per room and night, VAT and breakfast included:

            Double room: € 78.00
            Single room (same size as double room): € 72.00
            Double room plus supplement bed: € 110.00

Other information and alternatives

Madrid is hosting a very big congress from 10-16 October 2015 bringing people from all over the world. Several hotels have informed us that they have restricted availability for most of the week of 10-18 October. Hence, if you are thinking of spending a couple of extra days in Madrid (which we strongly recommend as it is a very beautiful city with fascinating surroundings!) it may be easier to find accommodation after the wedding than before. 

Madrid offers a large number of affordable hotels and we hope that it will not be difficult to find something suitable. Here are examples of two hotel options (hotel chains) that we recommend (other options can of course be found on booking sites such as www.bookings.com):

  • NH Hotels: www.nh-hotels.com/hotels/Madrid
    This is a chain with several hotels spread out in many parts of the city and of different standards (4 and 3 stars). Particularly well located are: NH Madrid Nacional, NH Madrid Sanvy, NH Madrid Alonso Martinez, NH Puerta de Alcala
  • Petit Palace: https://www.petitpalace.com/hoteles-madrid/
    Another chain of hotels typically in very centric locations (and normally smaller hotels than NH). Particularly well located are: Art Gallery and Embassy Serrano (in Salamanca distrit) and Savoy Alfonso XII, Plaza Mayor, Posada del Peine and Plaza Santa Barbara in the center and surrounding districts.  

Nuestra sugerencia - Ayre Gran Hotel Colon

Creemos que puede estar bien reunir a todos los que quieran en el mismo hotel. Para ello hemos pre-reservado un numero de habitaciones en el Ayre Gran Hotel Colon con una tarifa especial para nuestra boda. Nosotros (los novios!) también nos quedaremos aquí la noche de bodas. La página web del hotel es: www.ayrehoteles.com/en/hotel-colon/

Para reservar una habitación, simplemente necesitas:

  1. Contactar con el hotel directamente por teléfono (+34 91 400 99 00) o e-mail (reservas.colon@ayrehoteles.com)
  2. Reservar la habitación(es) para las fechas dando la referencia "Boda Markus y Teresa".

Información importante sobre nuestra propuesta de hotel:

  • Te recomendamos que reserves antes del 15 de julio de 2015, ya que después de esa fecha las habitaciones dejarán de estar bloqueadas para nosotros y dependería de la disponibilidad del hotel. 
  • Se pueden reservar habitaciones desde el viernes 16 de octubre (incluido) en adelante. El Ayre Gran Hotel Colon no tiene por el momento disponibilidad para los días anteriores al 16 de octubre debido a que se celebra un importante congreso en Madrid. Si necesitas una habitación para antes del 16 de octubre, seguro que se pueden encontrar opciones por internet (por ejemplo, a través de www.bookings.com) y nosotros estaremos encantados de ayudarte si necesitas sugerencias.
  • La estancia se paga directamente en el hotel (no hay pre-pago con la reserva).
