Your holiday apartment in Embajadores from 9flats allows you to become part of the local community, living among the local population, rather than with other visitors in a tourist hotel.

An alternative to your holiday accommodation in Embajadores

If you are looking for something even more central, with some royals for neighbours, then a holiday apartment in Palacio could be the answer. As the name suggests, it lies beside the royal palace, in the west of the city centre. You will find great views over the Sabatini Gardens to the mountains beyond and the palace complex itself is impressive and open to visitors. The opera house is nearby and the enchanting square of Plaza Mayor a short walk to the east. The Plaza de Oriente is a pleasant city park with some fine sculpture, making a cool stop on a hot day. Madrid’s nightlife is all on your doorstep.

Moving on from Embajadores

To see a different side of Spain, a trip south will take you into Andalusia and a holiday apartment in Granada where you can see the influence of the former Moorish rulers. The Alhambra palace in Granada is one of the most spectacular sights in Spain. Dating from an original fortress in 889 AD, it was extended into a royal palace in 1333 and is a wonderfully well preserved example of Moorish architecture. Leaving Spain, a trip further south to Morocco could take you to a holiday apartment in Casablanca where you can enjoy more Moorish culture and architecture. Wherever you go, 9flats has superb local accommodation at less than the price of a standard hotel room, so book your apartment in Embajadores now.
