Accommodations

We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Madrid! Due to other events taking place in Madrid during our wedding week, we have not been able to secure a hotel block at this time. However, there are plenty of great hotel, Airbnb and VRBO options available. Our official wedding bus pickup location in central Madrid will be at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, but don’t worry — all the neighborhoods below are just a short Uber, taxi, or metro ride away, so you’ll be able to get to the festivities easily. All these neighborhoods have a mix of hotels, Airbnbs and VRBOs, so you can find options to fit your budget. Madrid’s metro and train system is reliable and easy to navigate, making it simple to explore the city and reach the wedding festivities. Madrid is also very walkable and safe to navigate at any time of day or night. Pick a neighborhood that matches your vibe — whether it’s peaceful, central, or full of tapas and adventure. We recommend booking early and choosing what works best for you!

Other Neighborhoods (Budget Friendly)

While we recommend staying in the neighborhoods above for the best experience during your stay, below is a list of more budget friendly options. Lavapiés – Central & Affordable A multicultural, lively area with plenty of character: street art, international food, and a vibrant atmosphere. It's one of the more affordable central neighborhoods, popular with students and creative types. Malasaña – Trendy & Bohemian A great neighborhood with cool shops, cafes and nightlife. Rents tend to be a bit lower here than in central Madrid, making it a good choice for guests who want to stay somewhere fun without paying premium prices. Tres Cantos – Suburban Comfort North of Madrid (Alejandro's Home) Nestled about 22km north of central Madrid (closer to our wedding ceremony), Tres Cantos is a residential town known for its calm, green environment and strong community. It is well connected to central Madrid by train and has plenty of parks and restaurants, ideal for visitors who want a quieter base while still having easy access to the city.
