Where to stay near Madrid’s Estadio Del Bernabeu

The Estadio del Bernabeu is one of the world’s great football grounds. This 80,000-seater stadium is situated on Madrid’s Paseo de la Castellana, in the northern neighbourhood of Chamartín.

The stadium is named after club legend Santiago Bernabéu, who led Real to victory as both a player and a president. Today you can tour the team’s incredible collection of silverware in the museum, before heading to the stands to watch a match.

For football fans and visitors alike, here are four of the best apartments within a short walk of the turnstiles.

My City Home Bernabeu

My City Home Bernabeu is set on the 23rd floor of a skyscraper in Madrid’s AZCA financial district. This big two-bedroom apartment has spectacular views of the city and the Bernabeu Stadium – which is a 6-minute walk away. Inside it’s all clean lines and polished parquet floors, with mismatched chairs and cherry-red kitchen counters adding some fun into the decor. You’ll find plenty of international restaurants and sports bars nearby, including El Enfriador, a brewpub that’s popular with locals and visitors alike.

PYR Select Bravo Murillo

PYR Select Bravo Murillo offers a mix of cosy studios and spacious one-bedroom apartments, all sleeping up to four guests. Their design brings the outside in, with misty blues and greys dominating the decor and plants dotted here and there. Outside the building, there are lots of local shops and restaurants, including a bakery where you can pick up warm bread and pastries for breakfast. When you’re ready to head out, a 17-minute walk along Avenida General Péron will bring you to the gates of the Estadio Bernabeu.

Chic Rentals Serrano

Only 10 minutes’ walk from the Bernabeu, the Chic Rentals Serrano apartments are located in a modern building with a shared rooftop pool. Each one-bedroom flat is decorated in earthy tones, with light wood floors and brick-red feature walls. If you want to cook at home, there’s a simple kitchenette in each apartment. Chamartín Market is a five minute walk away, where you can pick up local produce, and there’s a supermarket around the corner. You’re also next door to Cachivache, a trendy tapas bar that’s famous for its torreznos – crisp chunks of fried pork belly – and spicy patatas bravas.

Penthouse Cuzco Castellana Smart

Spread across two floors, Penthouse Cuzco Castellana Smart has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a roof terrace filled with lush plants and lounge furniture. The apartment’s decor includes bold prints and plenty of personal touches – a birdcage hangs from the living room ceiling, while shelves are lined with knick-knacks from around the world. You can reach the Bernabeu Stadium on foot in around 15 minutes, with several highly rated local restaurants along the way – try La Máquina for fresh seafood or El Astorgano for hearty cocido maragato stew. Located between two metro stations, you’ll have easy access to the city centre and Barajas Airport, both less than 20 minutes away.
