One of the things you mayu miss at the Principal hotel is a pool. It is not easy to find hotels with this sort of location and a pool. If a pool is very important for you, you may want to consider the Urban hotel (in this case you will need to sacrifice the historic building and embark on minimalism) or the also perfectly located Hospes Puerta de Alcala which faces the Retiro park.
