The Lepidus

Located in Madrid’s swish Salamanca neighbourhood, this comfortable apartment offers a central stay in one of the city’s most privileged postcodes, alongside putting you in a prime position to explore the area’s countless cultural hotspots.

Inside, vibrant pops of colour in the modern furnishings create a cheerful welcome in the open-plan living space, where a plump sofa beckons laid-back lounging and a dining table invites sociable soirées. The three bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back spaces carefully curated with an eye for design – from the jungle print wallpaper in one to the Art Deco feature wall in another. With a pair of sleek bathrooms to boot – sure to get any day off on the right foot – you’re all set for a relaxing time.

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, take a stroll through leafy El Retiro Park – a fifteen-minute walk away – or indulge in some high-end retail therapy along fashionable Calle de Serrano, ten minutes away on foot. You’re also a twenty-minute walk from the National Archaeological Museum, while both Gran Vía and the world-renown Museo Nacional del Prado are just over thirty minutes on foot from your door.
