Why we recommend it
Four Seasons Hotel Madrid was the brand's first hotel in Spain when it opened in September 2020. It forms part of Centro Canalejas, a major restoration project that brought together seven historic buildings at the junction of Calle de Alcalá, Calle de Sevilla and Carrera de San Jerónimo, between Puerta del Sol and the Barrio de las Letras. The project combines the hotel with private residences and a luxury shopping gallery, and the restored facades and interiors give the hotel a grand, historic feel in the very centre of the city.
The hotel has 200 rooms, including 39 suites, ranging from deluxe rooms to a penthouse. Interiors are calm and contemporary with references to the buildings' heritage, and the larger suites offer some of the most impressive views over central Madrid. The spa is a major draw, with treatment rooms, an indoor pool, a relaxation lounge and a 24-hour gym, and the hotel describes it as the largest urban spa in Madrid.
Dining is led by the Andalusian chef Dani García. Dani Brasserie, on the rooftop, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a terrace overlooking the city, and Sunday brunch is popular with locals. El Patio, the lobby lounge, is known for its afternoon tea, and Isa offers Asian Mediterranean dishes and cocktails. Galería Canalejas, the shopping gallery in the same complex, is directly connected to the hotel. The restoration was led by the architects Estudio Lamela, with the restaurant interiors by Martin Brudnizki and AvroKo, and the complex also includes 22 private residences and more than 1,400 square metres of meeting and event space for up to 500 guests.
The Four Seasons suits travellers who want a contemporary luxury base in the historic centre, with everything from the Royal Palace to the Prado within walking distance. Couples, families and business travellers are all well served, and the concierge team can arrange private shopping, restaurant bookings and tours.
Sevilla metro station on line 2 is directly outside, and Sol is around five minutes away. The Thyssen-Bornemisza is around ten minutes' walk east, and the Plaza Mayor and the Plaza de Santa Ana are both close. Non-residents can book the rooftop brasserie, which is a good way to enjoy the views without staying.
