Right in the heart of Madrid’s Art Triangle

The clatter of trolley tugs, the coming and going of trains and the hurried footsteps form the symphony of Atocha and its surroundings, a crossroads through which hundreds of thousands of passers-by from all over the world pass every day.

Yet this constantly shifting landscape also offers, however, a space for tranquillity, contemplation and wonder: the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza form the well-known Art Triangle or Golden Triangle of Madrid, a little slice of heaven on earth where tradition and the avant-garde coexist. Works by Velázquez, Goya, Dalí, Caravaggio, Van Gogh, Monet and so many others are concentrated in this urban heart of the Spanish capital.

We can safely say: the city centre is ours. Or rather, yours.

Much more than just accommodation: a multi-purpose space

Many of our guests are pleasantly surprised when they discover that we are a hostel and not a hotel. At least, according to our business licence. The truth is that we pay little heed to labels. We believe that accommodation is defined by more than just its category or the number of stars it has.

Stereotypes and boundaries hold us back. That’s why SLEEP’N Atocha aims to be much more than just a place to stay, adapting to the realities of our times, to new social and working habits, and to the revolution in spaces – which are becoming increasingly cross-cutting, flexible and diverse. Just like the people who live there.

The superb sense of balance demonstrated by Las 2 Mercedes, the leading design studio responsible for the interior design project, has succeeded in combining design and functionality, elegance and modernity, colour and harmony, transforming a dilapidated 1950s hostel into what is now SLEEP’N.

Its terrace with stunning views and its communal areas offer a unique and affordable boutique space to relax, work, host an event, enjoy a film screening, savour a home-cooked breakfast or, why not, some traditional Madrid churros, a local wine or a good coffee. The house treats you to the latter.

Less is more: when comfort is luxury

Travelling is another way of dreaming of the world. The world we envision inevitably centres on sustainability, excellence and an eye for detail. Above all, we want you to feel at home, with warm, personalised service.

But to dream, you need to sleep. Our rooms (now fully sanitised) are designed so that nothing is missing… nor is there anything superfluous. Their size, slightly smaller than the average in Spain, is perfectly utilised and designed for your maximum comfort. Sacrificing a few square metres is, amongst other things, what allows us to offer you more and better services. To you… and to the planet.

Alongside state-of-the-art technology – soundproofed walls, high-pressure rain-effect showers and built-in Bluetooth speakers – we’ve implemented a range of environmental measures: 100% renewable energy, smart climate control, LED lighting, recycled glass, natural pigments, electric ovens, rock wool insulation… all of which make us a CO₂-neutral building. Because sometimes, less is more.

The first B Corp accommodation in Spain

SLEEP’N Atocha was founded in 2016 to promote a new form of tourism and a new way of shaping the city. Today, we are proud to say that we are the first B Corp accommodation in Spain and the second in Europe – a certification that recognises our compliance with the highest standards in terms of social and environmental performance, transparency and corporate responsibility.

Our ambition is to help improve our environment, putting people and the planet at the heart of what we do. But we cannot do this alone. We need to work hand in hand with our suppliers, partners and guests. That’s why it’s important to remember that every guest who steps through the door at SLEEP’N Atocha is changing the world alongside us.

And you, are you getting off at Atocha?
