"An Excellent Hotel in Every Way"
This is the hotel we'll always choose whenever we visit Madrid. After staying here, it's hard to imagine booking anywhere else. The location is excellent, making it easy to explore the city, and having a private parking garage is a huge advantage. The rooms are exceptionally spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. One of the highlights of every stay is the breakfast. The selection is outstanding, with plenty of fresh, high-quality options, and it's something we genuinely look forward to each time we visit. Considering the size of the hotel, we were impressed by how well everything is organised. Despite having so many rooms, the service feels personal. Every member of the staff was friendly, welcoming, efficient, and always happy to help. The rooftop bar is another reason we love staying here. It's a wonderful place to unwind in the evening and adds something really special to the overall experience. Our only small criticism would be the swimming pool, which feels a little too small for a hotel of this size. However, since we didn't come to Madrid to spend time by the pool, it certainly didn't affect our stay. Overall, this is an outstanding hotel that offers comfort, excellent service, and great value. We already know where we'll be staying on our next visit to Madrid.
"Second time but I will not return."
Second time in this huge hotel located in Piazza di Spagna, some rooms really have a view of the city and a respectable rooftop since tourists have to pay 10 euros to access it. However, I will not return. Too chaotic with detached staff; checking the rooftop feels like entering a bank, and you always feel out of place. They interrogate you or you always have to have the key in hand. For breakfast, which I love very much, it feels like being on an assembly line, with hundreds of people at narrow tables pushed together. Rich buffet but of poor quality products, undrinkable coffee for us Italians. Empty minibar, they don't even ask if you want it filled with a paper cover. No courtesy set in the bathrooms, and they didn't even change the towels on the second night. I no longer recommend it.

Does Hotel Riu Plaza España have pools, a beach area, or both?

While we are in the heart of the city, we feature a refreshing outdoor swimming pool. Please note that it is not heated in winter, and there is no beach area.

Yes, absolutely. We know you want to stay connected to share your best rooftop moments, so we provide free WiFi throughout the hotel to ensure you can easily upload photos or plan your next city adventure.

Yes, we offer secure, private on-site parking facilities for our guests. Having dedicated parking right in the restricted traffic area of central Madrid is a huge benefit, making it completely hassle-free to explore the city or arrive by car at your own pace.

Key features that make our hotel a strong choice include our refreshing swimming pool, gym, versatile meeting rooms / conference facilities, secure parking, and our iconic rooftop terrace. To ensure a hassle-free stay, we also provide a buffet restaurant, lobby bar, laundry service, free WiFi, online check-in, professional event planning, and on-site medical service.

Staying at Hotel Riu Plaza España is an unforgettable experience, thanks to its position as an icon of the Madrid skyline and the outstanding service praised by our guests. The real magic happens on our spectacular rooftop terrace and the famous Sky Bar 360º, where you can soak in stunning 360-degree views of the city. Combined with the exceptional, friendly attention from our dedicated staff, our hotel offers a unique and welcoming urban escape that captures the true essence of Madrid.

The best way to secure your room is by booking directly through our official website. This guarantees you the best availability and the most flexibility for your stay in Madrid.

Madrid is beautiful year-round! Spring and autumn offer mild, perfect weather for walking the city streets. Summer is vibrant and energetic with long, sun-filled days, while winter brings a cozy, festive atmosphere with the city lights and holiday markets.

While the hotel resides in a historic landmark, it has been transformed into a modern urban oasis featuring key amenities like a rooftop terrace, gym, and swimming pool, making it the perfect base for your next city break, short getaway, or business travel.

Our reception is available 24 hours a day to assist with your arrival and departure. To make your stay even smoother, we encourage you to use our online check-in service.

A stay here is defined by living at the top and enjoying first-class urban hospitality. From sipping a drink at our iconic Sky Bar 360º while watching the sunset over the spectacular Madrid skyline, to enjoying the unbeatable convenience of our Plaza de España location and the highly-praised friendliness of our staff, we make sure every moment of your stay feels effortless and memorable.

Being located inside the historic Edificio España on Plaza de España means you are steps away from the iconic Royal Palace, Sabatini Gardens, Temple of Debod, and the famous theaters of Gran Vía. You can also easily stroll into the vibrant neighborhoods of Malasaña and Chueca for incredible shopping and nightlife, while world-class museums like the Prado are just a short trip away.

We offer modern accommodations perfectly tailored to our ideal guests, whether you are traveling as a couple, solo (as a single guest), in groups of friends, or as seniors (65+). Our rooms are highly accessible, including options for guests with disabilities, and you can book either room only or bed and breakfast plans to suit your exact needs.
