If you're looking for a cool city pad right in the thick of the action, this location is as central as it gets. Placed just one minute away from Gran Via, Madrid's grandest boulevard, and with two of the city's most happening barrios (that's neighbourhoods to us) close by, you can experience the best of Madrid living here. Potter about the coffee shops, bakeries, and vintage clothing stores of Malasaña (five-minute walk) by day. Then head to the bustling tapas bars and restaurants of Chueca (nine-minute walk) by night. When it's finally time for you to all rest your heads, there's a sleek, contemporary apartment waiting. Awash in cleansing whites, with just the occasional pop of colour, we love the luminous, spacious feel about this place. Slide open the smart pocket doors to reveal bedrooms bathed in natural light and crisp white linens, large hotel-like bathrooms with rainfall showers and twin sinks, and a lounge area with heaps of room to crash out. But really, it's those beautiful views of the urban rooftops seen from the dining area that will be grabbing your attention – it's a lovely spot to sit and watch life go by, whatever time of day.

Local guide


About Puerta del Sol

Puerta del Sol is the epicentre of the city and home to Madrid’s most famous meeting point – ‘Oso y El Madroño’, the bear with the strawberry tree. The central square of this neighbourhood is quite literally where all the roads in the Iberian peninsula lead to, which means it’s really hard to get lost if this is where you want to go. This area is popular both day and night, with buskers, natives, and tourists snapping photos of some of Madrid’s most iconic sights.
