Where to stay in Pinar de Chamartín
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Pinar de Chamartín is a settled corner of Ciudad Lineal, more suburb than lodging quarter. Places to sleep in Pinar de Chamartín are thin on the ground. Those drawn to the north of Madrid tend to book near the city centre and travel out to see the Palace of Duques de Pastrana or the transport collection of the Empresa Municipal de Transportes de Madrid Museum.
Stay central, visit here. If you prefer leafy streets and calm over a central address, this pocket of the Comunidad de Madrid rewards the trade.
About Pinar de Chamartín
What are the main landmarks in Pinar de Chamartín?
Pinar de Chamartín carries real weight for its size. The Palace of Duques de Pastrana stands as its grandest building, joined by the convent of Madres Reparadoras and the Parroquia Jesús de Nazaret among the barrio's places of worship. Trains have their shrine too.

What is the history of Pinar de Chamartín?
Pinar de Chamartín took shape on the old estate lands north of the city. The Palace of Duques de Pastrana recalls that earlier order, when grand houses and religious foundations like the convent of Madres Reparadoras held ground later drawn into the Ciudad Lineal district of Madrid. Growth came from the edges.
As the capital of Spain expanded, the estates gave way to streets, and the barrio settled into the shape it keeps.
