Location & what to see

Plaza Mayor is 250 m away and Mercado de San Miguel is 290 m away; the Collegiate Church of San Isidro is 40 m away. The nearby sights also include Palacio de Viana (50 m), Basílica Pontificia de San Miguel (250 m) and Palacio de Santa Cruz (150 m). The area has narrow streets lined with shops, bars and historic buildings, making it suitable for planning your first walks on foot.

For public transport, La Latina metro station is 150 m away and Tirso de Molina is 200 m away; Embajadores railway station is 950 m away and Atocha is 1.5 km away. Puerta del Sol is 450 m away, while Palacio Real de Madrid is 750 m away and Plaza de Oriente is 600 m away. Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport is 11 km away. There is no parking at the accommodation, so if you arrive by car you’ll need to find parking elsewhere; the metro makes it easy to reach other neighbourhoods and places in the capital.

A day exploring the area can start at Plaza Mayor and continue to Mercado de San Miguel, then on towards Palacio Real or Almudena Cathedral, 710 m away. If you prefer museums, you can head to Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (1.1 km), Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (1.2 km) or the Prado Museum (1.3 km). In May, the San Isidro festivities bring concerts and activities across the city; in summer, outdoor walks are more comfortable early in the morning or at the end of the day. The rest of the year, museums and churches offer other ways to round out your visit.
