Author tip

You don't have to stray too far for an even better view than the one from your room. The hotel's rooftop bar, the Penthouse, looks out over the Madrid rooftops and has rapidly become one of the trendiest places anywhere in the city for an early evening drink.

Curious fact

This was to have been the first Hard Rock Hotel in the world, but problems within the Hard Rock group saw the building become the property of the Meliá chain.
