Plaza de las Cortes 3 Bis
Duplex Penthouse · 7th/8th Floor · 1929 Art Deco · Renovated
Description
Set in a landmark location directly across from the Hotel Palace, near the Thyssen Museum, the Spanish Congress, and just steps from the Prado Museum and the Retiro park, this penthouse stands as a collector's piece, designed for those who seek sophistication, privacy, and design at the heart of Madrid.
The apartment occupies the 7th floor of an 1929 Art Deco building, laid out across two levels. The main level houses the day area — dining room, kitchen with central island, and private terrace — and the night area with three independent en-suite bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The curved staircase, acting as a central sculpture, connects to the upper level, where the winter lounge with built-in bar, the summer lounge, and a 130 sqm terrace unfold across three spaces: lounge and dining under pergola, solarium, and lookout over Plaza de las Cortes.
Includes 2 parking spaces in the same building and concierge service. The renovation is the work of the studio Sierra + De La Higuera.

Sierra + De La Higuera
The studio Sierra + De La Higuera delivers a full renovation that respects the classical essence of the Art Deco setting and projects it into the contemporary. Their proposal moves away from the ephemeral and focuses on materials and textures that gain beauty over time: sandblasted Levante stone on the floors, natural oak in the millwork, and a serene, neutral color palette. The curved staircase acts as a central sculpture that articulates the residence, turning every construction detail into a work of art in itself.
