Restaurants & Tapas

The hotel's restaurant serves traditional Spanish food with a modern twist, including dishes such as patatas bravas, ibérico pork with guacamole, and baby squid cooked in onions. La Antonita restaurant offers tapas, meat dishes, fish, and salads, along with a variety of gin and tonic concoctions. The Bar Dragonate, located in the hotel lobby, features a raw space made up of concrete and light wood.

Area Attractions

Located in Centro, the Posada Del Dragon Boutique Hotel is situated in Madrid's centuries-old core, La Latina, known for its Sunday market El Rastro. The hotel is a few minutes' walk to the Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace of Madrid, and the Mercado de San Miguel food market. It is a three minutes' walk from the Plaza Mayor and eight minutes from the Puerta del Sol, where there is a metro station. Nearby landmarks include the Royal Palace of Madrid (0.5 km), Parque del Retiro (2 km), and the Prado National Museum (1.5 km).

Location & Transport

The Posada del Dragón is on Cava Baja, near the 12th-century city wall. It's about 15 minutes by metro to the Antocha Railway Station. Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport is a 20-minute drive or about an hour via public transportation. You could ride along the banks of the Manzanares river, just down the hill. Gran Vía, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace are easily accessible.

Hotel Services

The Posada del Dragón features a 24-hour reception that can help with booking tickets for guided tours, live shows, and other events. The hotel is located in the neighborhood of La Latina, near the famous El Rastro street market and many places to enjoy cañas y tapas.

“The hotel strikes me as a place of contrasts, where a prime La Latina location meets some inconsistencies. Entry through the tapas bar sets a convivial tone, reflective of the neighborhood itself. I imagine, though, that room selection is key, given reports of variable experiences.”
