Here, Four Seasons visitors and residents will mingle with Madrileos in the Hotels restaurants and bars, meeting with colleagues, taking a break from purchasing and exploring museums, or engaging in lengthy conversations with friends over shared plates and the countrys great wines.

Madrid is Having Its Moment: In a city that is ever changing but usually welcoming, visitors will find out something new with each and every return visit. Four Seasons is just steps from Kilmetro Cero, the central point from which all distances in Spain are measured. In this absolutely pedestrian-friendly city, most of the predominant points of interest are within a 20-minute walk, consisting of the 125 hectare (300 acre) Retiro Park with its magnificent Glass Palace and endless pathways amid trees, fountains and ponds. Three of the worlds best museums the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofa form a Golden Triangle in the neighbourhood round Four Seasons. Here in Madrid, awe-inspiring historical and cutting-edge architecture is the backdrop, while trendsetting dining and flamenco tablaos, where one can feel this sensual art, beckon at each and every turn.

A New Culinary Destination

At Four Seasons, Spanish celebrity Chef Dani Garcia will unveil Dani, a new dining concept from the three Michelin-starred chef, with an unmatched rooftop setting expected by acclaimed London and New York-based designer Martin Brudnizki. Expect a vibrant and vivid brasserie with a state-of-the-art touch, where locals and global visitors will come together to savour Andalusian delicacies and panoramic views all through the day and evening, both indoors and out in the sunshine on the terrace.

A gastrobar will proceed to move ahead the tapas trend that started in Spain, including current Asian flavours paired with latest cocktails in a space created by international design studio AvroKO.
