The Plaza de Cibeles is the busiest district in Madrid because it houses one of the largest and tallest post offices in the world â the Communications Palace. This is the building that carries with it about 3 thousand workers everyday.
The Plaza was the dream of financier Bernhard Beinecke, hotelier Fred Sterry, and Harry S. Black, President of the Fuller Construction Company. They purchased a 15-year-old hotel of the same name on the site. The three men set out to replace it with what is surely one of the most elegant hotels in the world.
