Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
A wraparound nine-storey terrace with one of the best straight-down-Gran-Vía panoramas in the centre, at its best as the sun drops behind the boulevard's domes.
Not independently verified — estimated
Cocktails are firmly hotel-rooftop priced — you're paying a premium for the altitude and the view.
Not independently verified — estimated
The terrace bar is walk-up only and fills fast at golden hour, so weekend sunset means arriving early or queueing for a spot at the rail.
