3-star Hotel / Parador

HMAD3, Madrid, Madrid and Inland Spain

Family run hotel in Madrid’s artistic centre

Set in the genuine Madrileño neighbourhood of Lavapies yet with all the city's major art galleries – El Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofia – within a short walk, this small, family-run hotel is a breath of fresh air.

The building, which has been in the family for two generations, has been recently restored with clean, white decor throughout making the most of Madrid's wonderful light whilst retaining some delightful original features like the period staircase.

The hotel's position, just out of the main touristic centre, also affords the visitor a more authentic view of this modern, multicultural city and with Atocha train station just 1km away opens the door to excursions out to some of Spain's most exciting cities.

The hotel has 17 rooms of which 5 are junior suites which can also be used as family rooms sleeping up to 4.

Double rooms have either two 90cm twin beds or a 180cm double and a third bed can be added to most double rooms. There are two small doubles in the loft of the building (each has a double bed 135cm / 150cm wide).

Madrid, Madrid and Inland Spain

Madrid, the capital of Spain since 1562 and its largest city, lies right in the centre of the country. With its high altitude it enjoys hot, dry summers and cold, but sunny winters, making it a city to visit at any time of the year.

Though it has a modern infrastructure, it has preserved the look and feel of many of its historic neighbourhoods and streets and each quarter or "barrio" has a distinctive atmosphere about it.

Rich in monuments, some dating back to the Hapsburg Empire, it also boasts the Golden Triangle of Art – The Prado Museum, The Reina Sofia and The Thyssen Bornemisza which complement each other.

Along with the magnificent Royal Palace and Royal Theatre and Opera house and the lovely Buen Retiro park, the highlights are the Puerta del Sol, the Cibeles fountain and the Plaza Mayor right at the core of the city.

But Madrid is not just a cultural centre – it is a lively metropolis with the most amazing selection of bars, restaurants and night clubs and an enviable night life.

The streets can be full of people at 5.00 am, but most of them are not heading for work! No wonder they say "De Madrid al cielo" – from Madrid to Heaven!
