What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in Madrid

© Richard Phibbs

New Yorkers can say what they like: Madrid is the true city that never sleeps. The energy in this nocturnal town, where even grandmothers jostle for taxis at 4 a.m., is infectious. It’s also decidedly European: designer names from across the continent fill boutiques; big-name chefs whip up tasting menus at see-and-be-seen restaurants; and glamorous hotels dot the skyline. Though the afternoon siesta is losing ground, tradition remains in the tapas bar and in the warmth of Madrileños, who are as proud—of their royal family, their cuisine, their art—as they are generous: they want you to love Madrid too.
