Hotel Sol Madrid
Hotel Ateneo is located next to one of the most emblematic places in Madrid: the Puerta del Sol. The Puerta del Sol was originally one of the entries to Madrid, facing East, hence it’s name.
Today, the Puerta del Sol isn’t just the centre of Madrid but also a meeting point for locals and visitors alike. A tile on the floor with the drawing of a clock tower points out Km. 0 for all roads in Spain.
From the Puerta del Sol you can easily walk to the most interesting tourist attractions in Madrid, such as Paseo del Prado, with its three important museums: El Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofía are just a few minutes away. If you carry on down Calle Mayor from Sol you will get to the Palacio Real and the Plaza Mayor, filled with tapas bars and restaurants.
On the other hand, the Puerta del Sol is a gem in itself, with the symbol of Madrid: the bear and the arbutus tree. The Puerta del Sol is the heart of the city and it has its own metro and train stop since 2010 that can connect you to any point of the city and the region.
Our Hotel Ateneo offers you the chance to travel to Madrid and stay in a magnificent and comfortable location so you can visit and see Madrid in the best way possible.
