The best rooftops in Madrid | SmartRental
You don’t have to go too far to escape the hustle and bustle of the Spanish capital – just head up to one of Madrid’s rooftops! They are real oases where you can spend your time having a cool drink, relaxing by the pool, and updating your social networks with photos of the Madrid skyline.
In this article, we recommend some of the best rooftops in Madrid to enjoy the lovely weather in the city. Rooftops with restaurant, bar, beautiful views and a lot of ambience where you can enjoy a relaxing evening amidst the rooftops of the city. Keep reading to find out more!
Gastronomic rooftop in the San Antón Market
The first rooftop we recommend is in one of the trendiest places in Madrid: the Mercado de San Antón. Located in the heart of Chueca, San Antón reopened a decade ago as a gastronomic space with restaurants and the usual market stalls.
What many don’t know is that the third floor of the market is home to the 11 Nudos Terraza, a very peaceful space where you can have an apéritif and a beer while contemplating the charm of Chueca. Although it’s not the highest rooftop in Madrid (don’t expect breathtaking views), you’ll be able to see inside the market while sitting in comfortable armchairs. Here you can sample the best market cuisine and a creative cocktail bar in a cosy atmosphere.
For cocktail lovers: Osadía rooftop bar
To discover this incredible rooftop in Madrid, you will have to go up to the seventh floor of the SmartRental Collection Gran Via Capital apartments building, where Osadía Sky Bar is hidden. A rooftop bar that not only has stunning panoramic views of Madrid, but also an excellent gastronomic and cocktail proposal.
Osadía can be divided into two areas: a lounge area next to an infinity pool that is covered under a movable floor, and a space with tables where you can share a snack with a beer or cocktail. Bravas, croquettes, cheese platters, hamburgers and delicious desserts are part of the menu, as well as an extensive cocktail, liquor, wine and soft drinks proposal.
Of course, if you go up to the Osadía rooftop bar, you can’t miss its incredible views of the Gran Vía and the rooftops of Madrid, which make it one of the most sought-after places in the capital when the good weather arrives.
Rooftop at the Círculo de Bellas Artes
If you’re looking for a different atmosphere in the open air, the rooftop terrace of the Círculo de Bellas Artes offers a new perspective of the Madrid skyline. At 56 metres, this is not one of the highest rooftops in Madrid, but it is one of the most artistic, as you can have a drink next to the sculpture “Minerva” by Juan Luís Vassallo. Plus, you can enjoy 360-degree views of the city.
The terrace of the Círculo hosts all kinds of private events and there is also a restaurant serving Mediterranean cuisine, the Azotea del Círculo, where you can book a lunch, dinner, or snack. For those looking for new experiences, this rooftop in Madrid offers photography workshops accompanied by a delicious cocktail.
Ella Sky Bar, rooftop restaurant on the Gran Via
An oasis in the heights and a rooftop restaurant in the centre of Madrid with a unique atmosphere. This is the Ella Sky Bar, an ideal place to disconnect at any time of the day. Its non-stop offer of “gastro bites” starts at 10am, so you can go up for breakfast, lunch or an afterwork. You’ll find it on the rooftop of the SmartRental Gran Via Centric apartment building.
This rooftop terrace in Madrid has some of the best views of the capital. From the bar and restaurant you can see all the splendour of the Gran Vía, the Royal Palace and the domes in the heart of Madrid, as well as the Cuatro Torres with the mountains in the background.
We invite you to discover its tapas and Mediterranean dishes, perfect to enjoy under the sun or when the night falls, accompanied by classic cocktails and live music sessions.
El Jardín Secreto, a hidden gem
If you’re looking for a romantic and secluded spot, Salvador Bachiller’s Secret Garden (El Jardín Secreto) is a must-visit. This rooftop in the centre of Madrid has it all: beautiful views of the Madrid skyline, a garden with dozens of plants and flowers and a delicious brunch, lunch, and dinner offer. They also have special offers for couples and other promotions such as teatime.
During the day it is usually a very quiet place, ideal for breakfast or snack lovers, and at night it gets livelier with cocktails until 1 o’clock. Another plus point is its central location: just a stone’s throw from Sol in the heart of the capital.
