Plump in the centre of Madrid, this pad in the vibrant Chueca neighbourhood is perfect for solo travellers, remote workers or a couple. This bright space is perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing in El Retiro – share coffees around the breakfast bar and catch up on emails when work is on the agenda. While the design is minimalistic, the advantage of having two bathrooms ensures a smooth start to your mornings before a busy day. Salamanca’s boutiques offer the perfect excuse for some sartorial browsing, and if you're hoping to see an exhibition, you can walk to Museo Nacional del Prado.
