Axel Hotel Madrid

A hotel in the Centro district on Calle de Atocha, part of the international Axel Hotels group that operates properties across Europe aimed at a mixed crowd with a strong gay male following. The rooftop pool and bar are the social centrepiece, drawing both guests and non-guests for drinks, particularly in summer. Axel positions itself as a full-service hotel with a bar and restaurant on site, so it functions as a base for visitors rather than a drop-in venue. It sits within easy reach of the Chueca neighbourhood, Madrid's main gay district, making it a practical choice for those who want to stay close to the action.
