La Terraza at The Principal Madrid Hotel is a rooftop garden of rare elegance perched atop a landmark 1917 Spanish Renaissance building at the start of Gran Vía, the first five-star hotel on Madrid's most famous avenue. From this privileged vantage point, guests are treated to sweeping views of the iconic Metrópolis Building, the Círculo de Bellas Artes, the Bank of Spain, and on clear days even the snow-capped Sierra mountains in the distance. The terrace is a genuine urban oasis of topiary, olive trees, cypress, and water features, where hammocks and lounge seating create a relaxed atmosphere. Signature and classic cocktails are crafted by renowned mixologist Manel Vehí, and a snack menu completes the experience. Year-round access is ensured by heaters and the glazed La Pérgola terrace extension.
