Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The most notable feature of the building, designed by the firm López y Tena, is its two large central courtyards which allow light to enter and which provide striking, cinematic perspectives.

The rooftop pool

The rooftop infinity pool looks across Madrid's domes and rooftops, fitted with hydromassage jets and submerged loungers.
