Sip to a View at the Penthouse Madrid

Poised above a phalanx of gothic architecture and interweaving alleys in downtown Madrid, the Penthouse flaunts spectacular views of the city. Madrid’s trendiest and most exquisite rooftop bar is a symbol of the city’s progressive culture and forward thinking.

Situated on the roof of ME Madrid Hotel, the Penthouse stands gloriously over Plaza Santa Ana, just steps away from the hopping nightlife of the city. The building itself  is worth millions, drawing attention with its stark white exterior, lavish architectural style and a conical tower standing high and mighty above all.

To mingle with the hip and trendy, ride up to the hotel’s highest floor and be greeted by glitzy night lights and the cosmopolitan cityscape. The outdoor urban retreat is primed for languorous afternoons of chilling out and sultry nights of sipping cocktails. For a simple snack, the Penthouse also has a limited tapas menu with nachos, croquettes and jamon available.

With timber daybeds and leather sofas tastefully assembled in the Penthouse, there is plenty of space to relax, let your hair down and revel in the ambiance. Most of all, it’s the view that many come for.

For the budget-conscious, beware of the pricey drink list – the view definitely comes at a price.
