VP Plaza España Design, Madrid, Spain

Sunrise slides across Plaza de España and up the glass of VP Plaza España Design. Inside, polished stone and warm wood hush the bustle of Gran Vía below.

With 214 modern, design-forward rooms and suites, this is an urban sanctuary in the heart of Madrid—sleek lines, curated art, and a rooftop that trades city hum for open sky.

What Makes It Special

• Prime city perch on Plaza de España, moments from Gran Vía’s theaters and boutiques
• Design DNA throughout: sculptural lighting, contemporary art pieces, and refined materials
• Rooftop ritual: head upstairs for skyline views and golden-hour cocktails
• Urban wellness: a calming spa zone and a sunlit pool deck to cool the day
• Flavors with a view: Mediterranean-leaning menus and a confident cocktail program

A Day at VP Plaza España Design

Morning

The plaza wakes beneath your window—soft trampling feet, a busker tuning a guitar. Breakfast brings zesty orange juice, flaky pastries, and coffee with a hint of dark chocolate.

Afternoon

After a Gran Vía wander, the pool deck is quiet and bright; water laps the edge while you page through a novel. A treatment eases travel shoulders, eucalyptus and citrus in the steam.

Evening

Elevators sigh open onto the rooftop; Madrid spreads out—spires, domes, and sunset copper. You share small plates, clink a vermouth spritz, and watch the lights come on across the city.

Night

Back in your room, blackout shades fall, sheets cool the skin, and the plaza’s murmur fades to a hush.

Insider Tips for VP Plaza España Design

• Deluxe and Premium rooms are worth the upgrade for space and panoramic city views.
• Rooms facing the square or park/fountain deliver the signature “Madrid sunrise” experience.
• Breakfast = unmissable. Widely praised as one of Madrid’s best hotel breakfasts — fresh, diverse, and beautifully presented.
• Rooftop Ginkgo Sky Bar (12th floor): incredible views, DJ sets, and cocktails — but access via the outside elevator, not the main lifts. Go just before sunset to avoid queues and get a good table.
• Explore the surrounding neighborhoods — every side street hides cafés, boutiques, and tapas gems.
• Rooms are spotlessly clean; decor sleek and modern with thoughtful lighting.
