If you are going to a match or a concert at the Bernabéu, the Hotel AC Aitana by Marriott puts you about 5 minutes’ walk from the stadium. It is a modern 4-star hotel on the Paseo de la Castellana, with a buffet breakfast, a Mediterranean lounge and 24-hour laundry. It also suits business trips in the financial district.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at number 152 Paseo de la Castellana, in the north of Madrid. Santiago Bernabéu Metro station is about a 5-minute walk away, and Chamartín railway station about 30 minutes on foot.
The historic centre is far away: it is about 4.5 km to Puerta del Sol. To get there, or to the Prado Museum, take the Metro or a taxi.
Rooms and facilities
Rooms are bright and have free wifi, a minibar, a flat-screen TV with international channels and reading lamps. Wifi covers the whole building.
In the morning, breakfast is a buffet. During the day, the AC Lounge serves a Mediterranean menu, from something light to lunch and dinner, and in the evening it works as a chill-out bar with cocktails. The laundry service is available 24 hours, useful if you are chaining several days of meetings.
Who it suits
- Fans travelling to see Real Madrid or an event at the stadium.
- Those who work in the offices of the Castellana.
- Travellers arriving or leaving by train from Chamartín.
- Couples who do not mind taking the Metro to the centre.
Good to know
Rooms are available from 15:00 and must be vacated before 12:00. On match days the stadium area fills up and the Metro is busier: if you arrive that day, allow some extra time. For a trip focused on the old town, you may prefer to stay there; you will find options in hotels in Madrid.
