Compare Hotels in Madrid

The Spanish capital of Madrid is no stranger to travelling tourists. Situated in the heart of the Mediterranean region, this vibrant city is steeped in history and culture. Whether it’s a quaint bed and breakfast you’re after, or a luxury five-star hotel, Madrid hotels are suited to all.

Madrid is one of the most visited destinations in Western Europe. Home to over three million locals this wonderful multi-cultural metropolis is rich in everything you could want. Located on the river Manzanares, this remarkable city has had a tumultuous history, laden with conflict and controversy distant from the relaxed nature often associated with the Spanish. Despite the laid back attitude of the Latin locals, Madrid hotels are open all-year round.

Madrid was one of the centre points for the Spanish Civil war and became the premier location for Franco’s reign of fascism during the 20^th century. Madrid’s affiliation made it the figurehead of hate amongst certain corners of Spain during this period, gathering great opposition from both the Catalan and the Basque people. Although Franco’s regime brought misery to the lives of many Spaniard’s, it did see remarkable developments in industry for the city, which allowed it to compete as one of the outstanding centres of commerce in the western world. After his death, Spain decided Madrid should remain as the country’s capital and it has not looked back since. The focus has remained heavy on returning Spain to a democratic state and it has prospered immensely, transforming into a thriving capital city.

It is not only its intriguing history that makes Madrid such a fascinating city. Traditions such as football, dancing and bull-fighting make it such a unique place of visit. When you think of Spain, it is hard not to think of Bull-fighting. Whether it is your cup of tea or not, it is difficult to suppress it from thought. If you were curious to take a peek at the action, the famous Las Ventas arena is open between the months of March and October. Up to 25,000 fans can be crammed in to witness an event, which can be described as spectacular at worst.

If this is clearly not your thing, why not take a trip to one of Madrid’s stunning pieces of architecture, none more typical that the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. Home to the ‘Galatico’s’ of F.C Real Madrid, this 80,000 all-seated stadium is frequently open for English speaking tours, letting you capture the atmosphere of Di Steffano, Zidane and Beckham. Failing this, Madrid is abundant with dozens of museums that can cater to even the fussiest of tastes.

Madrid is also renowned for a booming nightlife for any of you thinking of checking into one of the many Madrid Hotels, dumping your gear, and getting ready for a night on the tiles. Since the demises of Franco, the city has seen aliberal explosion, with the celebration of good feeling executed through street parties, all night dancing and many many bottles of sangria. Head towards the centre of the city centre if clubbing is to your fancy, as this is where most of the lively hotspots are likely to be.

The afternoon siesta, (which truth be told is all but dead in most parts of Spain) has left the Spanish inclined to lean towards a nocturnal nature. This is certainly not a city for those put off by a late night, and hundreds of fantastic bars, restaurants and tapas huts are open well into the early hours of the morning. A meal for two can range from anywhere between €30-150, depending on how expensive your taste buds are.
