The Monument Hotel's facade showcases distinctive polychromy through a blend of brick, stone, ceramic, and wrought iron. Two restaurants helmed by Martín Berasategui, holder of 12 Michelin stars, have earned a combined 4 Michelin stars. The property features a white mosaic outdoor pool, while Hall 0 serves aperitifs, champagne, and light snacks throughout the day. Guest rooms offer soundproofed walls, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and bathrooms with free-standing tubs or walk-in showers.
