What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Once a parking lot and gas station, this converted building is centrally located and has an industrial vibe in keeping with the growing Generator brand.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Gran Vía is right around the corner, and the nightlife of Malasaña begins just up the street.
The rooms
Private rooms have hardwood floors and cushioned headboards. Bunk dorms stick to clean industrial basics with exposed metal frames.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Broken Shaker
Bartenders mix craft cocktails at a thatched tiki bar on the terrace, surrounded by potted palms and tropical murals.
At the table
Level Bar serves burgers and tapas beside red swivel stools and an expansive ceramic mural of Madrid.
How it began
The building was constructed as residential flats in 1930 before converting into Madrid's first hydraulic car park a decade later.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
