Plaza del Perú 4, in Nueva España, in the Chamartín district of northern Madrid.
Nearby
Nueva España is northern, residential and thoroughly un-touristed, which is exactly why the cooking is worth the trip. The rooms here answer to regulars, and the standard is higher than the setting suggests. Estadio Santiago Bernabéu and Cuatro Torres Business Area are the fixed points on the skyline.
