What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel occupies a restored heritage building that’s right in the thick of the action, but by the time you reach the reception, on the eighth floor, the noise of the streets is left far behind.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Gran Vía's theaters and flagship shops sit right outside, with Puerta del Sol a short walk down Calle Montera.
The rooms
Thick soundproofing insulates the grey-and-white bedrooms, where hardwood floors lead to walk-in rain showers.
Picalagartos Restaurant
Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the eighth-floor dining room, which looks over Gran Vía and serves modern Mediterranean dishes.
At the table
The ninth-floor rooftop terrace serves vermouth and signature cocktails from an open-air bar looking out across the city.
How it began
Commissioned in 1915 for Tomás Allende and designed by Julio Martínez Zapata and José López Sallaberry, it opened in 1918.
