Staying at SLEEP'N Atocha, just steps away from the Reina Sofía, the Prado and the Thyssen, allows you to explore the Art Triangle and other nearby cultural spaces at your leisure while enjoying a sustainable, comfortable and cosy hotel with homemade breakfast.
If there is something magical about Madrid, it is that art is not only in the museums, it is also in the streets, in the squares and even in the conversations in the cafés. But there is one place where it all comes together in a unique way: the Art Triangle. The Reina Sofía Museum, the Prado and the Thyssen-Bornemisza make up this kind of cultural journey that takes you through centuries of history, styles and emotions without having to move too much.
The best thing: if you stay at SLEEP'N Atocha, that journey begins almost on your doorstep. The Reina Sofía is just a two-minute walk away, the Prado and the Thyssen less than ten minutes. And in between, a whole neighbourhood full of bookshops, terraces, architecture and corners that make every walk special. All you have to do here is go out with curiosity and let Madrid surprise you.
Another advantage of being so close is that you can take it easy: do you want to go to the museum in the morning and come back for a rest? Would you prefer to stop for a calamari sandwich or try a traditional menu before going on? You can do the same. The difference is that, when you come back, you know that your "home in Madrid" is just around the corner, ready to recharge your batteries and continue enjoying yourself.
To start the tour of the Reina Sofía Museum is to open the door to the recent history of Spain told with colours, strokes and emotions. Picasso's Guernica is not just a painting: it's a blow of reality that leaves you speechless. Among the rooms, Dalí, Miró and Juan Gris await you, who seem to be in dialogue with each other and with the building itself, a mixture of history and modernity. Tip: don't miss the glass lift, the interior garden and the temporary exhibitions - in September the highlights include artists such as Marisa González and Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa.
From there, the walk to the Prado Museum is almost obligatory. It's not just a matter of getting to the museum: walking along the Paseo del Prado is already a plan, with its fountains, century-old trees and unique atmosphere that seems to have been taken from another time. And when you enter... another world: Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Rubens or El Bosco. You don't need to be an expert to be moved by Las Meninas or The Garden of Earthly Delights. Madrid without the Prado is simply not the same.
The finishing touch is provided by the Thyssen-Bornemisza, with a private collection that will surprise even the most curious traveller. From the Renaissance to Pop Art, passing through Impressionism and 20th century American painting, the Thyssen is that place where you always discover something new, even if you've been there before.
In addition to the Reina Sofía, the Prado and the Thyssen, from SLEEP'N you can reach other unique places in minutes. The Caixa Forum, with its iconic vertical garden and photography, architecture and design exhibitions. La Cuesta de Moyano, a promenade full of open-air bookshops, perfect for getting lost among stories. Or La Neomudéjar, an alternative art centre in former railway warehouses, where creativity breaks the mould and connects with our way of seeing culture: open, accessible and transformative.
