Posted: 4/1/24 | April 1st, 2024

Madrid is a city that offers everything you could ask for: delicious food, world-class museums, stunning architecture, vibrant nightlife, and charming streets. As the vibrant capital of Spain, Madrid is a perfect destination to explore iconic landmarks such as the Prado Museum and enjoy evenings in lively tapas bars.

Although my initial visit to the city was not ideal due to illness, I have had the chance to visit Madrid multiple times since then.

Throughout my visits, I have stayed at various hotels in Madrid. To assist you in planning your visit, here is a list of the best hotels in the city:
