Why we love it
The setting
Petit Palace Plaza Mayor sits on a quiet side street near Plaza Mayor in Madrid's old centre. The hotel is about a minute's walk from Mercado San Miguel and roughly 140 metres from the main square. From here you can walk to Puerta del Sol, the Royal Palace and the La Latina tapas bar district, so you will rarely need public transport while exploring the city.
What to expect
The rooms have a modern design and feature a double bed, a private bathroom and free Wi-Fi throughout. The booked category is a Double room of roughly 20 square metres, with air conditioning, a minibar and a safe. Meals are not included in the room rate, but breakfast can be added at the hotel for an extra charge. The front desk is open 24 hours a day.
Things to do nearby
The hotel is surrounded by some of Madrid's best-known sights. Plaza Mayor is about 140 metres away, Mercado San Miguel sits 70 metres from the door for a morning bite, and the Arco de Cuchilleros is a short stroll at 172 metres. The Parroquia de Santiago y San Juan is roughly 182 metres on. Puerta del Sol, the Royal Palace and the museums along the Paseo del Prado are also within walking distance.
