Posada del León d’Oro
Cava Baja is many people’s favorite Madrid street, bursting with bar and restaurant life, but you need to be sure you want to stay in such a lively area. If you do, Posada del León d’Oro is a great choice. There’s been a coaching inn here since the 19th century, and glass panels on the dining room floor reveal fragments of La Latina’s medieval city walls. The soundproofed guest rooms are arranged around a traditional wood-beamed courtyard or corrala, and feature clean, contemporary design and underfloor heating. Good food choices abound on Cava Baja, but the traditional cocido madrileño hotpot, served daily except in summer at the atmospheric Enotaberna restaurant, is worth staying in for. There’s a good wine list too.
