The quick guide you need this very Christmas if time has caught up with you. How to survive the holidays and still enjoy a very happy ending to the year.
Valencia, Barcelona or Madrid.
Or all three — turn it into a triple getaway. Barcelona takes the crown as European Christmas Capital 2026. And speaking of capitals… who hasn’t felt the real magic of strolling down Madrid’s Gran Vía in December? There are no words to describe it. But hey, we don’t need to tell you. The capital of queerness itself — you know it better than your own home.
And since we’re talking about home… we’ve opened a brand-new sanctuary of love and freedom for you. Axel Hotel Valencia lit its flame in November and it’s ready for you. Don’t worry, it doesn’t burn. Well… only if you want it to.
The North.
Oh, the North… what would we do without pintxos? Bilbao has something — apart from the label-free refuge we opened this year: Axel Hotel Bilbao. And in Axel Hotel San Sebastián, this Christmas brings Bingo In Red by TWO IN RED. The naughtiest event in the North. An XXXmas Edition on December 20th at 6 PM.
Get your tickets here, so they don’t have to tell you about it later, in case you’re around.
Berlin.
Well… Berlin is always a yes. A city without judgement or prejudice, just like Axel Hotel Berlin. An iconic building in the oldest gay neighborhood of the German capital.
Located in Schöneberg, just a short walk from almost everything, you’ll have zero excuses not to explore its legendary bars and clubs. You can also do some culture: Ku’damm is right there, and in just minutes by public transport you’ll reach icons like the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, Checkpoint Charlie or Museum Island.
Obviously, all of this before the all-night techno session you’ve already planned to kick off 2026. Hungover tourism is not cute.
2025 is ending…
New Year’s Eve. Free cava. Happy ending.
Well, cava and whatever you want. What really matters is that you allow yourself a happy ending. (Axel and You members only.)
• Buffet breakfast. Dangerously addictive.
• Massage. We can’t wait to have you in our hands for 45 minutes.
• Bottle of cava. Do we really need to explain more?
Stay with us on December 31st. Happy ending included.
After you’ve made love in all our hotels, now it’s our turn to make love to you.
And we’ll prove it through Axel and You. You’re still in time to get your 500 welcome points if you haven’t signed up yet.
