El Cielo de Alcalá Dining Experience
It's a rooftop, and most of the character follows from that: loungers, a glass-sided plunge pool in summer, views over the Retiro, and cocktails treated as a real part of the offer. Sunset is the hotel's suggested hour. The kitchen shuts half an hour before the terrace does, so the last stretch of the night is for drinking.

Recoletos runs along the grand boulevards between Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta de Alcalá, where the buildings are stately and the pavements are wide. The eating leans formal and expense-account, with classic dining rooms sitting beside newer, sharper kitchens. It shades into Salamanca as you go east, and the prices follow.
