Hotel Montera Madrid, Curio Collection by Hilton, occupies a 1924 building where Gran Vía meets pedestrian Calle de la Montera. The city is close at hand, but much of the hotel's social life takes place above it: arrival on the ninth floor, meals beside broad windows and cocktails on the rooftop. With 93 rooms, including eight suites, it is a manageable base for travelers who want Madrid's shops, theaters and street life around them. Lázaro Rosa Violán's interiors give this central address a character of its own.

The location is useful in very practical ways. Step outside for the stores and theaters of Gran Vía, or follow Montera Street toward Puerta del Sol. The latter is about 450 meters away, an easy walk that links the hotel with one of Madrid's main meeting places. Gran Vía metro station is beside the building, so exploring beyond the center need not depend on a car.
This is a busy part of the capital, with people passing throughout the day and evening. That energy is part of the reason to stay here. You can leave the hotel for a coffee, a performance or a walk without first planning a transfer. Travelers seeking a residential setting should keep the lively surroundings in mind.
The building's 1924 exterior belongs to the grand architecture of central Madrid. Inside, Rosa Violán takes familiar Spanish references in a more playful direction. Arches, framed art, textured furnishings and decorative details give the public spaces depth. The design has enough personality to reward a second look, while seating areas remain places to use rather than simply admire.
The montera, the traditional hat associated with bullfighting dress, runs through the hotel's visual language. The same cultural reference informs the colors used in its accommodation names and decorative trims. These details connect the interiors to Madrid without relying on a single historic period. The result feels appropriate to a city where old façades and contemporary life share the same street.
One of the more distinctive works is encountered while moving through the hotel. Madrid artist Miguel Caravaca created a 25-meter-high mural alongside the panoramic elevator. It makes the journey between the entrance and the upper floors part of the experience, bringing art into a space that might otherwise be purely functional.
There is a similar sense of discovery in the shared rooms, where lighting, furniture and artwork change the mood from one area to another. Rather than a uniform lobby stretching across the ground floor, the hotel unfolds vertically. Its quieter indoor corners and open terraces offer different ways to spend time between outings.
The main lobby sits on the ninth floor, above the movement of Montera Street. Arriving here gives an immediate sense of the hotel's unusual layout. The reception level also gathers several of its social spaces, so it remains relevant throughout a stay. You might return for a drink or a place to sit even when there is no practical reason to visit reception.
Three terraces, Burladero, Sol and Sombra, extend the possibilities outdoors. Their covered areas offer places to meet over food and cocktails, with views toward Gran Vía and Montera. The choice between an interior seat and a terrace table is a useful part of the experience, especially when Madrid's weather encourages time outside.
La Braserí occupies the ninth floor, with large windows bringing the city into the dining room. Its cooking combines Madrid influences with dishes drawn from elsewhere, reflecting the capital's openness to different tastes. A Josper oven brings fire and charcoal into selected preparations. The tone is relaxed, making the restaurant a natural part of a city stay rather than an occasion that requires a separate itinerary.
The cocktail bar anchors the room, with a gold finish and a handmade mosaic at its base. It gives guests a reason to pause before dinner or continue a conversation afterward. The adjoining terraces offer another setting for food and drinks, allowing the same evening to move between indoors and outside without leaving the hotel.
On the rooftop, El Cielo de Montera turns the skyline into the main backdrop. Cocktails and tapas are served above the surrounding streets, with broad views across central Madrid. The setting works particularly well after a day spent walking: the same city you have been exploring is now spread out below, with its rooftops and façades seen from another angle.
This is one of the hotel's livelier spaces, suited to conversation and drinks. Its appeal comes from the combination of the view and a social atmosphere, rather than from seclusion. Keep that distinction in mind when choosing how to spend an evening. An outdoor cocktail here and a meal at La Braserí provide two different experiences within the building.
The rooftop also has a shallow outdoor pool and a solarium with loungers. It provides a place to cool down and rest between walks, shopping or museum visits. The pool is better understood as a pause in a city itinerary than a place for serious lap swimming. Its scale and elevated setting suit shorter periods of relaxation.
A fitness center gives guests another way to maintain a routine while traveling. The facilities support an active city break, but this is not a dedicated spa retreat. Madrid remains the main attraction, with the pool, gym and terraces adding useful choices for the hours spent back at the hotel.
The accommodation continues the Spanish design references in a calmer register. Neutral tones, decorative headboards and carefully framed mirrors soften the transition from the street. Street-facing and interior options create different outlooks, while some accommodation adds a balcony. Suites and connecting arrangements give couples and families alternatives to a straightforward city room.
The important choice is how you want to use your time indoors. Some guests will value a view of the avenue; others will prefer an inward-facing setting or more space to sit. The rooms provide a base for returning between plans, while the restaurant, terraces and rooftop encourage you to enjoy the building beyond your own door.
Plaza Mayor is around 800 meters from the hotel, and the Royal Palace is approximately one kilometer away. These central sights can form part of a walking day, with stops for food or shopping along the way. The nearby metro is helpful when your plans extend farther across the city or when you would rather save your energy for a museum.
The hotel has no on-site parking, which reinforces its appeal as a place to explore from on foot and by public transport. Concierge service and room service add practical support without changing the central character of a stay. Hotel Montera works best when you want to engage with Madrid, then return to a distinctive building whose upper floors offer room to pause above the streets.
Lázaro Rosa Violán’s interiors reinterpret Spanish decorative traditions through arches, textured furnishings and details inspired by the traditional montera hat.
La Braserí brings Madrid flavors and international influences to a ninth-floor dining room, with a cocktail bar and views of Gran Vía.
The shallow rooftop pool provides a welcome cooling-off spot between city outings, with loungers and Madrid’s rooftops spread out around it.
Calle Montera 47, 28013 Madrid Community of Madrid, Spain
Hotel Montera Madrid stands at Calle Montera 47, where pedestrian Montera Street meets Gran Vía. Puerta del Sol is about 450 meters away, roughly a six- to ten-minute walk. Gran Vía metro station is beside the hotel, making this a practical base for exploring central Madrid.
Madrid-Barajas Airport is approximately 14.3 kilometers from Hotel Montera Madrid. Allow around 25 to 45 minutes by car, depending on traffic and your terminal. The hotel does not operate an airport shuttle, so plan a taxi or a separate transfer for your arrival.
Yes, Hotel Montera Madrid has a shallow outdoor rooftop pool and a solarium above the city. It suits cooling off between sightseeing outings rather than swimming laps. The rooftop setting also has loungers and city views; outdoor use depends on weather and operating conditions.
Albero rooms are the clearest choice for a balcony, with 25 square meters and an outlook toward Montera Street or Gran Vía. Grana also includes balcony accommodation, but the hotel describes balconies in selected Grana rooms, so the specific room description matters.
Cobalto rooms offer 22 square meters, a king bed and views toward Gran Vía or Montera Street. Purísima rooms are larger at 25 square meters and face inward toward Miguel Caravaca’s mural. Choose between a street-facing outlook and an interior setting.
