A un paso de los mejores cines y musicales de la ciudad.

English translation:musical
Explanation:
En caso de que se tratase por ejemplo de un hotel en Madrid y por casualidad en Gran Via, entonces se tratará de musicales tipo "Mamma Mia", "Hoy no me puedo levantar", "Los productores" etc.
Por lo tanto en inglés: musicals
En dicha localización se encuentran todos los cines y musicales. Las salas de concierto están un poco más alejadas.

Thanks Marcos and everyone for the clarification - it is in fact for Madrid. I like Deborah's "musical productions" too.

neutral  Cinnamon Nolan: In English, "musicals" can be shown in cinemas or in theatres, but "musical" is not a place. The theatre or club where a musical is being performed would still be a "music venue".

  -> thank you for the clarification
agree  Bubo Coroman (X): maybe "musical productions" will fit the context
52 mins
  -> thank you
agree  John Cutler: I understand it like you and think your answer is perfectly valid. IMO "Musicals" wouldn't be perfectly understandable in this context.
55 mins
  -> thank you
agree  David Martínez: Musicals have been very popular in Madrid in recent years. I also agree, however, with Cinnamon Nolan: "musical" is no place, not in Spanish either, so I would suggest rephrasing to mean that the hotel is close to the theaters featuring these musicals.

agree  Carol Gullidge: I see nothing wrong with a hotel claiming to be within a stone's throw of the best cinemas and musicals. Slightly sloppy writing perhaps, but I frequently come across far worse on tourism sites, especially if the hotels, etc, have to supply their own copy
