Posada del Dragón

Top choice in La Latina & Lavapiés


At last a boutique hotel in the heart of La Latina. This restored 19th-century posada sits on one of our favourite Madrid streets, and rooms either look out over it or the pretty internal patio. Most of the rooms are small but have extremely comfortable beds and bold, brassy colour schemes and designer everything. There's a terrific bar-restaurant.
