Stay here: 7 Islas Hotel. This neighbourhood embodies the cultural fusion Madrid has experienced over recent decades. This is a bustling area, so if you want to experience it at its authentic best, head over early in the morning to stroll through its narrow streets and watch this vibrant neighbourhood wake up. Stay here: Hola Rooms. There are plenty of old-school pubs and restaurants, too, which stand their ground even while buzzy new openings arrive in Chueca.
Trendy galleries, creative spaces, traditional cuisine β Carabanchel is to Madrid what SoHo is to New York and in , we named it one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world. Stay here: Petit Palace Posada del Peine.
With wide streets and flats going for eye-watering prices, it has become a hotspot for fine dining and classy restaurants. Not just thanks to the revitalization of Calle Ponzano β an obligatory pilgrimage for fans of tapas crawls and good food β but also because of the traditional restaurants and taverns that have withstood the test of time. What this area lacks in green spaces parks are few and far between it makes up for in awe-inspiring architecture, as well as its cultural spaces that survive especially thanks to an older population that still go to the cinema, the theatre and art museums.
