Where to stay in Madrid

Madrid has accommodation for every budget. Since the city is big, we recommend paying more attention to the area and its connection to the venue than to the number of stars. Below they're grouped by area, from closest to farthest.

A few minutes' walk away (Méndez Álvaro · Delicias · Arganzuela)

The most convenient option: you walk to the Camp every day.

Tips

  • Book early: November is conference season in Madrid and prices go up with occupancy.
  • If you stay outside the venue area, look for somewhere near a metro L3 or L6 or Cercanías stop: those are the lines that drop you right next to Talent Garden.
  • Holiday apartments must display their registration number: check that the listing includes it.
