BARNES Madrid in El País: our Recoletos penthouse, a luxury icon for 2026

On February 6, 2026, the Negocios supplement of El País selected three outstanding high-end residential properties and highlighted a brand-new penthouse in Recoletos marketed by BARNES Madrid. The article, written by Sandra López Letón, underscores the appeal of residential luxury in Madrid, alongside two coastal assets (Mallorca and Costa Brava).

The penthouse: light, terrace, and a distinguished building

Located on the sixth floor of a distinguished early-20th-century building, this penthouse blends historic character with contemporary interior design. Its orientation and elevation ensure abundant natural light and open views from its terrace—a natural extension of the living-dining area—while the fully equipped open-plan kitchen integrates elegantly into the social space.

The night area features three bedrooms, two en suite, and a storage room, completing the property’s functional layout. With 180 built sqm, the asset is presented brand new and ready to move in.

Key facts:

• Location: Recoletos (Barrio de Salamanca, Madrid)
• Size: 180 built sqm
• Condition: brand new
• Price: €3.9M
• BARNES Contact: 911 96 18 20

Why Recoletos continues to lead the prime segment

Recoletos is synonymous with a strategic location, architectural heritage, and liquidity in the luxury apartments in Madrid segment. International demand values its proximity to Retiro, Colón, and the retail axes of the Golden Mile. In this micro-market, properties offering terrace, elevation, light, full renovation, and a representative building show the strongest absorption and value preservation.

Value for buyers and investors

For those seeking a primary residence in the Barrio de Salamanca, key factors include a rational layout (few corridors, dual orientations), energy efficiency, and high-quality carpentry. For long-term investors, a brand-new penthouse in Recoletos offers structural scarcity and high desirability, translating into shorter marketing periods and greater resilience across market cycles.
