Madrid · Spain
Where you stay in Madrid is part of the experience, not just a base. We match you with a hotel that fits how you like to travel — a palace on the Paseo del Prado or by the Royal Palace, a house among the shops of Chueca, or a quiet address on the Castellana.
01Where to stay
Distances are in a straight line to the Puerta del Sol.
Los Jerónimos lies between the Paseo del Prado and the Retiro, with the Prado on its edge; the boulevard and the park have been on the World Heritage List together since 2021. For a stay built around the art, with the Retiro on the doorstep.
A five-star Belle Époque palace between the Prado and the Retiro, with afternoon tea in the Palm Court and a garden open all year, weather permitting.
Suits Travellers who come to Madrid for its museums and want a grand hotel of the old school, and families, with connecting rooms and family suites.
The oldest part of Madrid, around the Royal Palace and the Teatro Real, with the Plaza Mayor a few streets away. For the old city on foot, and an evening at the opera.
A five-star 19th-century palace between the Plaza de Oriente and the Gran Vía, with a historic garden and a pool on the roof.
Suits Travellers who want the opera, the Royal Palace and the old town on foot — the Teatro Real is a couple of minutes away — and families, with family rooms, connecting rooms and suites of two and three bedrooms.
Next to the Gran Vía, Chueca is known for its shops, its restaurants and a lively nightlife around the Plaza de Chueca. Right for evenings out on the doorstep, and worth knowing if you want quiet nights.
A five-star boutique hotel in Justicia, near Chueca and Las Salesas, in a towered corner building, with a spa and a water area.
Suits Couples, and families in the connecting Urso Family rooms, who would rather step out into a neighbourhood than onto a boulevard, and like a spa to come back to.
The Salamanca district runs east from the Paseo de la Castellana: Calle Ortega y Gasset, known as Madrid’s Golden Mile of fashion, and the Museo Arqueológico Nacional, home of the Lady of Elche. For shopping, and a stay a little apart from the old centre.
A five-star hotel on the Paseo de la Castellana, by the Salamanca district's shops, with four restaurants and bars, a spa, and rooftop suites it calls Houses.
Suits Travellers who come to Madrid to shop and eat out as much as for its museums, and families, with suites and Houses that combine into two to four bedrooms.
