VP Plaza España Design is a five-star hotel on Plaza de España in Madrid with more than 1,400 m² of event space spread over several floors. It hosts conventions, incentives and private events, in panelable rooms with daylight and ceilings over 4 m. The hotel also has 214 bedrooms, two restaurants and a rooftop sky bar, a short walk from the Royal Palace and Gran Vía.
Seminars and company events
The second floor, called Ginkgo Events Planta 2, is dedicated entirely to business events. It offers more than 750 m² of fully panelable rooms with ceilings above 4 m, so an organizer can book one large hall or several smaller ones. The floor has rigging points, 2 GB high-speed internet and several three-phase power outlets. The rooms are soundproofed and equipped for audiovisual use, and the hotel can supply digital signage tailored to the event. A dedicated event line is available at extra cost.
On the ground floor, three meeting rooms, two of them panelable, suit small working sessions. The hotel's own text points to views of the Royal Palace or Plaza de España and natural light in the event rooms.

Accommodation

Catering
Two restaurants operate on site. Ginkgo Restaurante & Sky Bar, on the twelfth floor, serves Asian and Spanish cuisine with international touches, and has a terrace with 360-degree views of Madrid. Botania Restaurante serves market cuisine. The official event page does not describe event menus, so catering formats should be confirmed with the hotel.
