The Best Hotels in La Latina

La Latina is one of the most romantic places to stay in Madrid, a neighbourhood etched in poetic charm; these ancient, winding streets have long been a favourite haunt of poets, actors and artists. It makes for a wonderful base to explore Madrid from — just don't forget: the area is a destination itself. There are amazing tapas bars and the gorgeous Plaza de la Cebada — a bustling square where, every Sunday, the renowned El Rastro flea market flourishes. La Latina makes for a fun, vibrant base from which to explore the rest of Madrid. It isn't surprising that the best hotels in La Latina are chic stays, with lively tapas bars and renowned wine lists. Best of all, they're great for families — or young people.

For a young crowd

• Posada del Dragon is a chic hotel in an even trendier neighbourhood — surrounded by La Latina's iconic colourful houses, all set in a 16th-century former granary. The rooms are as cool and colourful as the bohemian area itself, and there's a fun, Michelin-recommended tapas bar downstairs. Best of all, this stylish, historic stay is just a short walk from Plaza Mayor. Lively and youthful.

For families

• Posada del Leon de Oro is an elegant, contemporary hotel set in an old inn. It has a historic courtyard, and is bridged by the 12th-century city wall. Traditional yet stylish, the spacious rooms and suites make it a great option for families and the restaurant serves traditional cuisine accompanied by an impressive selection of wines.
