It is located in the heart of Recoletos, just steps from El Retiro Park, in the best place to enjoy this emblematic Madrid park since two of the main gates are just across the street.
The Salamanca district is one of the most significant areas of Madrid, both for its unique layout and for the residents who have traditionally inhabited its iconic streets. Its construction dates back to the second half of the 19th century and corresponds to the urban expansion carried out during the reign of Isabel II. The precursor to whom it owes its name was the Malaga-born José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marqués de Salamanca, who conceived a new location with carefully designed buildings to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th-century style, it is characterized by its special regular grid layout with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of special interest due to their architectural quality and the beauty of their facades. Traditionally, Salamanca was a residential area, especially inhabited by the country's political and economic elites. In the last fifty years, this residential character coexists with other activities such as business, diplomacy, and especially commerce, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas in the capital. In this neighborhood of Madrid, and as a true jewel of the same and green lung of the capital, we find the Buen Retiro Park.
