Petit Palace Chueca

Petit Palace is a lovely gay-friendly boutique hotel in Madrid’s Chueca neighborhood, just off the Gran Via and less than a minute’s walk from Gran Via metro station. Boyberry, one of the city’s most popular cruising bars, is very close by, as are other gay bars like ENFRENTE, HOT, and Kavu Next.

The hotel is based in a reformed 19th-century mansion, and features an elegant blend of modern and traditional elements. For example, the old-school elevator is a beautifully charming feature, as is the gorgeous glass-and-iron front entrance door. However, in the rooms, you’ll find minimalist decor in white tones with a young and contemporary feel. The quadruple and quintuple rooms are particularly excellent for groups of friends traveling together.

The breakfast prides itself in being super fresh and healthy, and you can choose to take it buffet-style, take-away, or in your room. There is not a restaurant, but the hotel has a partnership with an external room service company which can deliver restaurant-quality meals to your door. Petit Palace is one of the most booked gay-friendly hotels in Madrid.
