The Hotel Santo Mauro A Luxury Collection Madrid is in a former ducal residence on Calle de Zurbano, in Chamberí, a block from the Paseo de la Castellana. It is a small 5-star hotel, and a good fit if you prefer to sleep a little away from Sol. Guests rate it 9.6 out of 10 on Booking.
Location and getting around
The address is Calle de Zurbano 36 (28010), in the Chamberí district. From here the historic centre is no longer around the corner:
- the entrance to Retiro Park and Plaza de Cibeles are about 20 minutes on foot;
- Callao and Gran Vía are about 25 minutes;
- Puerta del Sol is about 30 minutes.
The Santiago Bernabéu stadium is about 2.5 km away, around 40 minutes on foot. Terminal 4 of the airport is almost 11 km away, so a taxi or the Metro is best.
Rooms and facilities
The building keeps its palace origins, with French influences in the architecture. According to the property, the former library is now a restaurant and the old ballrooms are used for meetings and events. There is Wi-Fi throughout.
Breakfast can be continental or American, with vegetarian and gluten-free options.
Who it suits
- You prefer a residential neighbourhood: Chamberí takes you away from the busiest part of the centre.
- You have meetings around the Castellana: it is a step away.
- You are interested in historic buildings: you will sleep in a former ducal palace.
