Great-value, very gay-friendly hostel located on the first floor of a traditional building, just 100 metres from Plaza de Chueca and Gran Via. The colourful and stylish rooms feature private bathroom, free WiFi, air conditioning, electronic safe and minibar stocked with complimentary soft drinks and water. The hostel is close to many gay-popular restaurants, cafés and bars. Puerta del Sol is about a short walk away.

Hotel Atlántico is located on the famous Gran Via, in a 100-year-old building. Behind the iconic façade, it's all neoclassical styling but with modern add-ons you'd expect to find in a reasonable 4-star hotel.All air-conditioned rooms are spacious and have good blackout blinds (essential in Madrid) and free WiFi.The Chueca gay district is less than a 10-minute walk away. A huge choice of shops and restaurants are just a few steps away.

Pretty much as good as it gets in Madrid. Originally commissioned in 1912 by King Alfonso XIII who wanted Madrid to have a world-class hotel, the Westin has seen important events in Spanish history and still sets the standards for Madrid today. All classically-styled rooms & suites feature the signature Westin Heavenly Bed and soundproofing. Located in the cultural centre, the hotel overlooks Plaza de las Cortes and is about 15 minutes from the Chueca gay district. If you are in town for Pride, then Plaza de Cibeles (which we think is one of the best-viewing locations) is just a 5-minute walk away.

A 3-star hotel with a lot of substance. Hotel Regina, which back to 1918, is located near the famous Puerta del Sol square, metro station, and within easy reach of the Chueca gay scene. All 180 guest rooms are stylishly furnished. The Superior rooms have a more contemporary feel than the Standard ones. Free WiFi in all areas. Regina has its own restaurant and bar, although you're spoilt for choice when it comes to dining options in the part of town.

Duke of Santo Mauro would have anticipated that his neoclassical mansion, built in 1895, would end up being converted into a hotel - and even less likely that it would be recommended for gay travelers. But if you like a bit of class, we're sure you will appreciate the outstanding service and the gorgeous setting. The AC offers a great combination of the contemporary and classic, as well as excellent dining. The hotel features a nice indoor pool and a decent gym. Located in Chamberi neighbourhood, just a short taxi ride from the gay district.

The design of this gorgeous hotel pays homage to Spanish literature and language. Iberostar Las Letras is one of a few hotels in Madrid that successfully combined with old and the new.
