POSADA DEL DRAGON BOUTIQUE HOTEL, Madrid

Posada del Dragón is perfectly positioned in the heart of the La Latina district, a neighbourhood celebrated for its concentration of tapas bars. The Plaza Mayor is a one-minute walk away, and the San Miguel Market is reachable in five minutes on foot. La Latina Metro station (200 m) connects directly to the city's main rail station at Atocha (a 25-minute walk or quick metro/taxi ride) and to Sol for major shopping and the Royal Palace. Despite the lively street filled with restaurants and bars, rooms facing the courtyard or higher floors tend to be quieter. The area is exceptionally walkable, making a car unnecessary, and the fixed 30€ taxi fare to Madrid-Barajas Airport provides a straightforward transfer.

Rooms at Posada del Dragón come in several configurations. A standard single room has no openable windows-only artificial ventilation-while double or twin rooms may offer a balcony overlooking Cava Baja Street or an interior courtyard perspective. The Double Balcony rooms (180x200 double or two 90x200 twin beds) provide natural light and the only openable window. Many standard rooms are compact and are noted for having limited privacy, with the bathroom sink in the main room and the toilet and shower enclosed by translucent glass partitions. Some ground-floor rooms sit near the restaurant terrace, so noise from the bar can carry until late. All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a mini-bar, free safety deposit box, and free toiletries; however, no in-room kettle, coffee machine, or tea-making facilities are provided.

The hotel's restaurant, Restaurante #1, offers Mediterranean, Spanish, and local cuisine with a modern twist, using fresh ingredients. It is open Monday through Sunday for lunch and dinner, with specific hours varying by day (e.g., Monday and Thursday 12:30-00:00, Friday-Sunday 12:30-23:30). Special diet menus (vegetarian, gluten-free) can be requested. A bar and snack bar are also on-site. Breakfast is available for a surcharge of 15 EUR and is served buffet-style with hot items such as fresh omelettes and coffee made to order. Beyond the hotel, the surrounding street is packed with acclaimed tapas bars and restaurants, making it easy to explore local dining options.

Wellness and leisure facilities at Posada del Dragón are limited to the activities that can be arranged through the 24-hour front desk.
