Madrid Family Hotels – Tips and Recommendations
- The best hotel for families in Madrid is the Gran Via Capital (Smart Rentals). The hotel has large one and two bedroom suites great for families with full kitchen, washer/dryer, and a good central location close to sightseeing, shopping, and restaurants. We love this place.
- For soccer fans the very cool tour of Real Madrid’s Bernabéu Stadium might be the highlight of a Madrid visit. Walk on the field, visit the dressing rooms, and explore the stadium over the one hour tour.
- My favorite restaurant for families in Madrid is Lateral – delicious food (small plates) in a fun relaxed atmosphere. (Several different locations make it a good option regardless of where you stay.)

We are in Madrid for the tennis ATPs in May. The tennis is on in the Caja Magica and I am looking for somewhere for a family to stay not too far from there. This is our first visit so I’m not familiar with the neighbourhoods.
There are not many hotels or rentals in that area of Madrid. Try Artrip Hotel in central Madrid. It has large family rooms with bunk beds and is close to Lavapies subway station with direct trains to San Fermín station – a short walk from the stadium.
Hello,
I really enjoy your blog! How many days did you stay in Madrid? Did you visit any other cities either before or after your stay there? I’m questioning whether 7 days is too long for the kids.
Thanks!

Unless you’re really interested in Spanish culture, art, and history then yes, with one week, I would try to get to at least one other city (Seville or Barcelona).
