"Towering over Plaza de España is the VP Plaza España Design, a high-rise with a glossy façade and enviable views. Even the rooms that face away from the square have lovely vistas of rooftops and the city skyline. The design style is decidedly contemporary; think hardwood floors, Scandi touches, velvet armchairs, well-placed power outlets, L’Occitane toiletries. There are nine types of rooms; even the Standard (the smallest) feels cool and trendy. This hotel sits on one of Gran Vía’s primary intersections, making it a magnet for foot and vehicular traffic. Come for the rooftop and guest room views, plus the hotel's centrality to the main tourist and business hub in Madrid. The Metro station right at the entrance can get you anywhere in half an hour."
