If you're craving culture, look no further than this artfully positioned pad in Atocha. You'll find it nestled in Madrid's Golden Triangle of Art, boasting proximity to the Prado and Thyssen Museums – a fifteen-minute walk away – and offering a front-row seat to the striking red facade of the Reina Sofia Museum. Here, you're in a prime spot for exploring, with El Retiro Park and the Plaza Mayor just shy of twenty minutes away on foot. Inside, white walls and heaps of natural light create an inviting canvas primed for relaxation. We especially love the open-plan living space. Vibrantly furnished and adorned with an eclectic array of artwork, it beckons you to unwind between adventures, curled up in the cosy lounge or roosted at the dining table with a glass of wine. Though, the real highlight is the balcony. After a restful slumber, step outside through the large glass doors to sip your morning coffee in the sunshine.

Local guide
About Atocha
When thinking of Atocha, the mammoth train station immediately comes to mind. While it’s a transport hub connecting Madrid to all others parts of Spain, its appeal lies in more than just logistics. The station itself is full of restaurants (some are the best in the area), and the sprawling streets around it will slowly lead to some of the best museums in town. Staying here will place you within walking distance of Prado, The Reina Sofia Museum, and Retiro Park.
