The Principal Madrid Hotel
History & Story
The Principal Madrid Hotel is much more than a luxurious modern boutique hotel. Its prime location in the heart of Madrid, its exclusive entrance, its 76 elegantly appointed rooms, the stunning Terraza (rooftop terrace,7th floor) with what may be the best views in Madrid, and its Ático (penthouse, 6th floor) where avant-garde haute cuisine meets classic cocktails in a space with the best music are reasons enough not to miss the opportunity of discovering this renovated building, now one of the capital’s must-see sights.
The hotel’s impressive Ático and Terraza boast the best panoramic views of downtown Madrid. In both, amid large, lush garden areas, you can sip a cocktail or order from the menu concocted by Ramón Freixa (2 Michelin stars), soak up some sun in the Solarium or enjoy the sound of the overflow pool and the best ambient music or our outdoor showers in summer… And always with the finest service to ensure that your every wish is granted.
Our wellbeing area also includes an exclusive treatments room offering Natura Bissé products as well as a wide range of beauty treatments.
If you feel like going for a run, ask the hotel for a map of suggested routes through the nearby El Retiro Park. A personal trainer is also available on request. In addition, The Principal Madrid Hotel boasts a gym and special rooms (some with a separate entrance at Gran Vía 2) for meetings, social events or private dinners.

Location
The strategic location and views of the centre of Madrid are just some of the strengths of this singular hotel. The hotel is in the very heart of Madrid, and although inside all is peaceful and calm, outside the city is moving at an energetic pace. Gran Vía never sleeps and is packed with shopping districts, tapas bars, iconic cinemas and theatres and the best-known dance and night clubs in the city. You can find virtually anything, from the most modern, fashionable lounges to the oldest shops in the centre, on this street. All the principal museums (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofía and Caixa Forum), the city’s main tourist attractions (Cibeles, Callao, Puerta del Sol, Puerta de Alcalá, Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, etc.) and the most famous parks (Campo del Moro Gardens, El Retiro Park, the Botanic Garden and Madrid Río, among many others) are nearby and within walking distance.
Key sites/activities in the area
Visible icons and mandatory photo ops at spots like Cibeles and the Puerta del Sol are just a leisurely 5-minute stroll in either direction from the hotel’s front door. It is also close to the city’s most famous museums (Prado, Thyssen, Reina Sofía and Caixa Forum) and squares and parks, such as Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, the Royal Theatre, the Cathedral of La Almudena and El Retiro Park.
The neighbouring buildings include a large part of Madrid’s skyline and its most familiar “postcard” images, like the “Círculo de Bellas Artes”(opposite the hotel), the “Banco de España” (across the street) and the famous caryatids at the Cervantes Institute (round the corner).

An incredible space in an elegant, cosmopolitan setting where olive trees and cypresses, the sound of flowing water, the marble and wrought-iron tables, the bright-red deck chairs and sun shades, the candles and the music carefully selected by our resident DJs all come together to create an atmosphere that has become a celebrated part of both days and nights in the capital. The best option is to book a table for dinner outside or, without a reservation, enjoy the best classical cocktails or let yourself be surprised by the cutting-edge proposals of the most advanced mixologists.
By day, as the afternoon sets in, watching the overwhelming sunset or enjoying the starry sky. Any time is good for enjoying this exclusive space. A secret (increasingly less so) to discover and share!
