Why is Petit Palace Alcalá in Madrid special?

The Petit Palace Alcalá possesses the charm that only unique buildings like the La Unión y El Fénix Español skyscraper. Inaugurated in 1931, it is Madrid's first skyscraper, standing at 53 meters in height with 12 floors. The building comprises two parts—one with a stone facade and a viewpoint, housing the impressive breakfast room of the hotel, and a second building that accommodates the rooms. The second building is topped by a tower featuring a sculpture of the Phoenix bird, created by Vicente Camps and emblematic of the insurance company that owns the skyscraper. Located at 2 Virgen de los Peligros Street, the La Unión y El Fénix Español Building was designed by Modesto López Otero and draws inspiration from the art deco style of American buildings: reinforced concrete structure, white stone facades, glass windows—a departure from the previous 18th-century Torrecilla Palace that stood on the site.

The breakfast restaurant offers a panoramic view that unveils the heights of Madrid, framing a beautiful succession of buildings with style and ornamental details on the horizon.
