The Pool at Emperador Hotel Madrid

"The main reason to come here is for the stunning rooftop swimming pool with its magnificent views"

"The icing on the cake here is its rooftop pool that enjoys exceptional city views, open in summer from 11am to 9pm -- to the delight of guests seeking a cool refreshing dip in that ultrahot season"

"In this case the hotel itself is outstanding, but the rooftop swimming pool has some of the best views in Madrid - it's a favourite spot for moviemakers and photographers looking for sweeping Madrid views"

"The Emperador is famous for its outdoor rooftop pool, open during summer months, with spectacular views of Madrid’s skyline towards the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral and Retiro Park"

"The hotel is well located for visiting the city's major sights and has a wonderful rooftop swimming pool (which is also open to non-residents for a fee)"

"While the drapery-heavy “19th century Spanish” décor may feel outdated, the rooftop pool oasis with sunbeds, bar service and sweeping city views is the only one of its kind in the area"

"In the summer, the pool adds another perk worth considering"
