Real Madrid's Champions League hotel in Cardiff revealed
Posted Wednesday, May 17, 2017 by Marca.com
Real Madrid will stay at the Mercure hotel in Cardiff for the Champions League final against Juventus on June 3.
The four-star hotel will accommodate Zinedine Zidane's side during their time in Wales and is located in the centre of the city close to a string of other hotels which will be available to supporters of both teams.
UEFA proposed a number of hotels both inside the city and further afield, but Los Blancos have opted for the Mercure which currently offers rooms at 90 euros per night.
The hotel has 165 rooms and, despite being reserved by UEFA for the final, Madrid's wish to have the whole hotel to themselves as other access has not been granted. Players and staff will, however, have part of the hotel reserved exclusively for them.
The decision comes after Madrid chose similarly-located establishments in Lisbon and Milan for the Champions League finals of 2014 and 2016 - both against Atletico Madrid.
The Spanish outfit will travel on the Thursday of the week of the final, as desired by Zidane.
