Where Madrid goes out — vintage shops and third-wave coffee by day, bars three deep by two in the morning. Chueca is the heart of the city's gay scene. Stay here to be in it, not near it.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 15.A night out in Malasaña — Madrid goes out later than anywhere in Europe — bars fill at one, clubs at three. Malasaña is where it's least polished and most fun. Nothing starts before midnight.
