The Hat Madrid

Hidden rooftop bar

Elena from Madrid

About me My name is Elena. I’ve studied journalism and cinema, and I’ve been travelling since I was a newborn. My parents instilled in me their passion for travel, and I’ve travelled around Europe and USA.

""The Hat" Madrid is a hotel with a hidden hidden rooftop bar. It is the first hotel in Madrid using biomass energy and located in the heart of 'La Latina'!"

The Hat is a new hotel concept, located in a former palace of the nineteenth century that had been closed for years at the heart of "La Latina". They define themselves as a new accommodation concept for smart travelers, an open space based on design, sustainability and technology. In fact, is the first hotel in Madrid using biomass energy.

And the best part is that they are more than a hotel: the hidden rooftop terrace is perfect for chilling out and mingling, they offer drinks and some typical Spanish plates such as "tostas", "salmorejo", "tortilla"... And don't be afraid if you think it's cold because they've a glasshouse.

But not only the terrace is great, they organise a lot of activities and tours around the city. For example, every day at 21:00 they have traveller's meeting: 2x1 on drinks and Spanish lessons! As they say "wherever I lay my hat, that's my home".

P.S. pick one of their cool "hand drawn" maps of Madrid at the front desk.

My parents instilled in me their passion for travel, and I’ve travelled around Europe and USA. I’m the one that always organized the family trips and that’s how I heard about Spotted by Locals, because it perfectly fits the way I like to travel. I love cinema, art, fashion, dancing, and eating! But above all, I enjoy myself the most when I’m discovering new fantastic places around me to go to with my friends. Why Madrid? What I love the most about...
