Boasting spectacular views over the whole city, this exclusive Madrid club is located on the top floor of the ME Madrid Hotel. Imagine: it’s a balmy Friday summer evening and the sun has just sunk behind the distant sierras, you are whisked to the Penthouse in a private elevator designed by Rande and Scott Gerbe, as the doors swing open, you are granted an unhindered view of Madrid’s Plaza Santa Ana. You’re in your element: you head to the bar to buy a plush cocktail, mingle with Madrid high society and check out the eye-candy (subtly, of course).

The Penthouse offers reclining beds on the outdoor patio and the indoor lounge also has seats where you can meet the trendy types. Aim to arrive before midnight, however, though nights out start late in Spain, an early hours entry to Penthouse becomes almost impossible at the doors.
