The views that you will discover from there, are truly spectacular, amazing and unparalleled, and to discover them, you just have to start asking for the Terraza De Madrid al Cielo Sky Bar.

There are powerful reasons that make the Terraza 360 and De Madrid al Cielo one of your must-see on your next visit to the big city, but you also have to know that thanks to them, the RIU Plaza Hotel is becoming the new and desired tourist destination in Madrid.

You can enjoy the views from the Terrace, with the clarity of the day, or at night, when Madrid is illuminated. Both panoramic views are equally spectacular, each with its different qualities.

I have no words to describe what I felt when I crossed that glass walkway, well yes, a feeling of the most dizzying, but I assure you, that once you cross it for the first time, you will not want to stop passing, again and again.

Many pass without looking down, where the logo of the hotel chain is drawn and pass, oblivious to the heights, pedestrians and delivery trucks. The reality is that, although each of the four glass plates that make up the bridge supports 2,000 kilograms, causes some respect the attraction, not suitable for those who suffer (we suffer) from vertigo – what envy of those waiters who, without imutarse, cross it with the tray raised!

«Upon entering the lobby, many national clients tell us that it is like a scene from the Velvet series,» the hotel says. The original doors, stained glass windows and signs at the entrance, the green marble of the facades and floors, the copper details, the chandeliers on the ceiling, the main staircase with its wrought iron handrail and the Greek reliefs that decorated other rooms more than half a century ago have been restored in the reception and cafeteria.

We are not surprised that it has achieved this title just a few days after opening its doors, as this space offers 360º views of the capital. To access the terrace you have to go up to the 26th floor of the building, and it is done in an elevator that ascends at maximum speed. It only takes a few seconds.

Another of the details that have made this Sky Bar one of the most coveted is its now famous ‘hanging’ bridge or walkway that connects one side of the terrace with the other, in the most original and dizzying way we have ever imagined.

What is clear to us is that this place is not suitable for the fearful, but if you are a fan of heights, this bridge with a completely transparent floor is the perfect place to contemplate Madrid and recognize each of the emblematic buildings that make up the city.

You don’t need to make a reservation to go up to the 26th floor of the Hotel Riu. The price to go up to the rooftop is 5 euros per person before 18:00 hours and if you decide to go up after the price is 10 euros. In both cases, 5 euros will be deducted from the total amount paid for the drinks purchased at the Sky Bar.
