Madrid Hotels near FITUR/Parque Ferial Juan Carlos I ? - 09/28/04 06:19 PM

Antonio, et.al, I've conducted a search of this category and found nothing. Lots of mention of FITUR (the international tourism trade show in Madrid January 26-30) but none of hotels NEAR the fair.

ARE there any hotels near the Parque Ferial Juan Carlos I which is where the fair takes place?

I'm asking because I'm now getting emails requesting hotels/lodging NEAR there. As far as I know, there are NO hotels near there. Correct? And those which are closest, I'd imagine, would be quite expensive. One email asked for inexpensive lodgings within walking distance. eek I don't think hotels neither inexpensive nor within walking distance exist. Correct??

I can suggest some near Barajas Airport, which is near the fair, but are there any even closer?

ANTONIO!! WHERE ARE YOU AND WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN????

And a word to the wise: If you plan to be in Madrid during the dates of this HUGE trade show, BOOK NOW because the cheaper lodgings will fill fastest, then the cheaper hotels, then the more expensive hotels. DON'T WAIT!

UPDATE:
I used www.ViaMichelin.com website which I recommended to someone recently for finding hotels near a particular address and it worked fine. Here's a list of hotels near the fair, listed in NEAREST to FARTHEST but still in the area:

MM Some info on the topic.

There is at least one hotel in the complex that is within walking range : Novotel Campo de las Naciones.

Is a typical (middle price) business hotel and they have a lot of special deals. Is not too expensive and you are really near to the IFEMA complex

Ummhhhhh do you get of many requests like that MM. Have you considered opening a travel agency?

As for Hotels have you tried contacting Feria de Madrid? Many times this big trade fairs have their own travel agency that will book for you a hotel close to the exhibition.

I have not contacted them, no, but I did go to the FITUR website as well as the Fería de Madrid website and their page on recommended hotels mainly listed hotels in the city center.
