With the Renia Sofia and El Guernika at one end and CentroCentro at the other, the Paseo del Prado is a great place to stay if one of the reasons you’re in Madrid is to visit the museums. And many of the best hotels on the Paseo del Prado all have charming views of the street. Plus you’re close to a wealth of tapas bars, cafes and restaurants, and Gran Vía with its shopping and entertainment.
As well as the Renia Sofia and the CentroCentro, the other museums on the Paseo del Prado are the Thyssen-Bornemizsa, which is an incredible private art collection with work from the medieval period to the 21st century, the Prado Museum, which has a fantastic collection of Flemish and Spanish art, Spain’s Maritime Museum, a Decorative Arts museum, the Caixa Forum which is a relatively new museum and art centre with lots on for families, and the Botanical gardens. The boulevard itself is also decorated with monuments, impressive fountains and landscaped grounds.
Plus it’s tree-lined and elegant. And you’re close to Retiro Park and the Barrio de Las Letras, which is particular well known for its tapas bars.
You’re right on the midpoint of the Paseo del Prado, and the location is excellent, and if you want a luxury stay opt for the Ritz Madrid. It's a converted palace oozing classical elegance, think antique furniture, embroidered sheets and marble bathrooms, plus superb service.
The Vincci Soho is an impressively modern four-star hotel in an historic building. There are 169 spacious rooms with sleek furnishings and mood lighting. There’s also a garden, terrace and a lively bar.
Hotel Villa Real is just steps away from Madrid's museum golden triangle. It's the ideal base for exploring the city on foot. The facade is traditional, as is the decor: think rich leathers and Roman mosaics, but the comforts are contemporary.
One Shot Prado 23 is the place to book if you're looking for a stay that won't break the bank and is close to the museums. Rooms are modern and functional and prices start from £75 per night.
With rooms starting from just £78 per night, Room Mate Alicia is a great choice if you’re looking for chic and central. They even have family rooms, as well as great lighting and a lively spot on the Plaza de Santa.
