Catalonia Puerta del Sol

A renovated 18th Century building that still has many of its original features, the Catalonia Puerta del Sol offers up an authentic stay in the heart of Madrid. Expect to be won over by its timeless charm – from the entrance hall originally meant for horse-drawn carriages to the hotel’s striking interior courtyard.

You’re in an ideal location for seeing the sights, too. Just a 10-minute stroll from its namesake – The Puerto Del Sol – this buzzing part of the city is used as a junction for Madrid’s busiest streets and is a top tourist attraction in its own right. The grand central square, meanwhile, is even close at just five minutes away. This is the oldest part of the city and is a great place to grab a coffee, have a bite to eat or shop for that souvenir you’ve been thinking about. Up for walking a little further? you can be at the steps of the Santa Maria Cathedral in a mere 15 minutes. While Madrid’s renowned Art Triangle, a trio of iconic museums within close proximity to each other, is a must-visit for any respecting culture vultures.
