Housed in a historic building dating back to 1915 – designed by renowned architect Joaquín de la Concha Alcalde – this sunny, central apartment puts you in a prime position to make the most out of Madrid’s cultural hotspots.
Retaining much of its period charm with tall corniced ceilings, parquet floors and French doors leading out onto wrought-iron Juliet balconies, the home blends history and modern elegance in effortless style. We love the touches of soft sage in the decor and the eye-catching feature lighting, as well as the sociable open-plan layout of the living area – perfect for relaxing in after a day of exploring the city on foot.
The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally as chic with each one boasting a Juliet balcony too, beckoning sunny mornings as you perch with your morning coffee or celebratory sundowners as you people-watch from your privileged position.
When it comes to sightseeing, you’ve got plenty to see and do nearby. Take a stroll through bustling Plaza Mayor (a three-minute walk), visit the Royal Palace of Madrid (a five-minute walk) and treat yourself to some retail therapy along Gran Vía (an eight-minute walk). You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the Museo Nacional del Prado, while the Mercado de San Miguel – known for its gourmet tapas – is a mere one minute away on foot.
Home truths: *There's a lift in the building to access the apartment *As you're in a wonderfully central location, you may hear some street noise *The dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if needed *The building's entrance is shared with the nine other apartments here *Your host may be able to accommodate an earlier check-in on request and subject to availability *Out of respect for the neighbours, please keep noise levels to a minimum after 11pm *We recommend skipping the car here and making use of Madrid's public transport instead – Opera station is a three-minute walk away
