“In my opinion, this adults-only hotel captures Madrid's exuberant spirit, particularly its embrace of LGBTQ+ culture, that feels inviting to all. The location in the Barrio de las Letras places one in the heart of the action. I think the rooftop sky bar, accessible year-round, is the place to be.”
