AIL Madrid is located right in the heart of the area of Madrid known as barrio Salamanca (Salamanca District) in central Madrid. Named after its founder the Marques de Salamanca, the barrio is characterised by lavishly decorated buildings and its grid formation street design. The area is famous for being one of Madrid's most wealthy areas with many luxury hotels and leading designer clothes stores located here. The School is located less than 100 metres away from the fashionable calle Goya, and close to the glamorous thoroughfares of Serrano and Velázquez.
