Loved for its vivacious art scene, marvellous architecture and fine-dining restaurants, Madrid ticks all the city break boxes. And you don’t have to settle for a boring hotel, as the same three elements can often be found in properties across Spain’s capital. Groovy new hostels and revamped palaces have cool rooftop terraces, Michelin-starred restaurant chefs and cocktail lists so tempting that you may never leave the bar.
Whether you’re looking to stay in the beating heart of the city, Centro – known for its shopping thoroughfare on Gran Vía and grand square, Plaza Mayor – or perhaps one of the surrounding neighbourhoods, such as medieval La Latina or hip Chueca (where the nightlife is), you can drop into any of the places on this list for a drink or dinner and get some inspiration for your next visit.
