“El Autor Hotel Madrid, Autograph Collection is a 50-room luxury hotel located at Calle Zorrilla 19 in Madrid’s historic Literary Quarter, within easy walking distance of Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía, Paseo del Prado, and the Prado Museum.”
The property occupies a heritage building originally constructed in 1890 and renovated in 2025, featuring Art Deco styling throughout. It offers 50 individually furnished rooms and suites with elegant modern décor, premium bedding, pillow menus, laptop-compatible safes, complimentary Wi-Fi, and cutting-edge technology, along with 24-hour room service. On-site amenities include the El Pimiento Verde restaurant, which serves traditional Spanish flavors with contemporary touches using fresh seasonal products, a bar/lounge, an indoor pool, and a 24-hour fitness center. As part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, the hotel provides Marriott Bonvoy members with free Wi-Fi and mobile key access. Its smaller, design-led format in the central Literary Quarter appeals to guests seeking a boutique experience amid Madrid’s business, culture, dining, and nightlife offerings.
March to May and September to October offer mild temperatures around 15–24°C/60–75°F and relatively low rainfall, ideal for sightseeing and often cheaper than peak summer.
July and August should be avoided because average highs frequently exceed 32–35°C (90–95°F), with heatwaves over 40°C/104°F, making sightseeing uncomfortable; this peak-summer period also brings higher prices and heavier crowds.
