This rooftop bar and restaurant is so close to the iconic Telefónica building that you'll feel you can reach out and touch it. To get there, you've got to go up to the ninth floor of the NH Collection Gran Vía hotel (at the corner of C/Montera), where you'll be greeted with various spaces including a cocktail bar and comfy sofa area. There's also a menu of nibbles brought to you by Chef Javier Muñoz Calero (who some will know from Nubel or the Forus Barceló rooftop), which is perfect for summer afternoons and nights. Give yourself plenty of time because this is one of the places to be.

Located in the middle of Madrid’s Art Triangle, between the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía museums, Hotel Westin Palace has been a landmark ever since King Alfonso XIII commissioned its construction as a place to greet visiting members of high society in Madrid at the beginning of the last century. Throughout its history, the hotel, which is famous for its glass dome and the events held there, has served as a refuge for personalities like Picasso, Dalí, Einstein and Madame Curie.

Directly opposite the Reina Sofía Museum – home to Picasso’s anti-war masterpiece ‘Guernica’ – the Hard Rock group has magicked up a beautiful, laidback hotel (and on the site of a former car park, no less). Like in the HR restaurants you may have dined in elsewhere, there are plenty of cabinets filled with memorabilia here – chief among them the blue denim jeans worn by Elvis Presley during an NBC Television Special in 1968 – but it’s the rest of the decor that really stands out. The huge hanging guitar in the lobby, the mural inspired by the post-Franco La Movida countercultural movement behind the bar, the sculpture that riffs on Velásquez’s ‘Las Meninas’: the overall feel is that of an art gallery, perhaps one curated by Pedro Almodóvar. The rooms are slick, too, and pretty well priced (you’re talking between Є145 and Є200 for a double). And as for the food? Excepcional. Don’t miss the brunch that comes served in a guitar case, and the cocktails with views at rooftop bar RT60.

Because of this boutique hotel's small stature – just 30 rooms – and central location in Malasaña, you might confuse it for a hostal. But you only have to cross the threshold to know that couldn't be further from the truth. The Walt's functional design and contemporary, strikingly colourful decor, with artworks everywhere – the owner is passionate about art – are reminiscent of other big cities with New York style, where this type of accommodation is on trend. Some of the rooms have a private terrace, and all guests have access to the interior patio, speakeasy-style lounge bar, and – thanks to an agreement with the nearby Gymage Lounge Resort – a gym and swimming pool for doing laps if you can't spare your fitness routine during your holiday.
