Early September in Madrid is typically warm and sunny, with temperatures around 75–85°F (24–30°C) during the day and cooler evenings.

Where to Stay

Madrid offers a wide range of wonderful hotels and neighborhoods to stay in. We recommend choosing accommodations in Salamanca, Chueca, Malasaña, or the Gran Vía area, which are centrally located and convenient for transportation to the wedding. We recommend booking accommodations early, as September is a popular time to visit Madrid.

Guests are welcome to stay anywhere in Madrid that best fits their preferences. We have selected a few hotel options that are convenient and range in prices.

Hotels

Airbnb & Apartment Rentals

Madrid also has many great Airbnb and apartment rental options, which can be a wonderful choice if you are traveling with friends or planning to stay for several days. If booking an Airbnb, we recommend choosing accommodations in Salamanca, Chueca, Malasaña, or near Gran Vía, as these neighborhoods are central, lively, and well connected to the rest of the city. Transportation to the wedding will depart from central Madrid, so staying in these areas will make travel easier.
