Simple but stylish, this newly renovated aparthotel sits in the heart of Madrid’s Barrio de las Letras, just steps away from the former home of literary great Miguel de Cervantes. Whether you’re here to follow in his footsteps or simply take in the sights and sounds of a new city, this place has got you covered, situated within easy reach of Madrid’s major attractions. Embark on a day of sightseeing then come home and refuel in one of the neighbourhood’s bustling tapas bars before dancing the night away in one of the local clubs. Back at your apartment, you’ll have all the essentials for a stress-free stay, most notably a kitchenette – sans oven – for recreating your favourite Spanish-style dishes to enjoy from the comfort of home.

Whatever’s on the agenda for tomorrow, you're in safe hands here.
