Having been first announced eight years ago, the doors have finally opened to the brand new Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, which promises to bring a new standard of luxury hospitality and accommodation to the Spanish capital.
Combining seven different historic buildings to create one destination, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid’s exterior is as impressive as you would expect from any premises within the established collection. Sitting on the corner of a busy intersection, the building’s façade features intricate stone work, with a gilded clock face sitting high atop the front of the building. Although beautiful by day, it is at dusk when the building is at its most spectacular, with tasteful lighting illuminating the historic premises.
Although Madrid is regarded as one of Europe’s top cultural destinations, the hotel is an art destination in itself, housing an impressive 2,500-strong collection of pieces including sculptures, paintings and photographs. The hotel’s curator, Paloma Fernández-Iriondo, has successfully celebrated the country’s vibrant art scene by collating the works of Spanish artists – most of whom are emerging.
For guests’ peace of mind in the current climate, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has introduced the use of the Four Seasons Chat App and Chat. Having already won awards, the app allows guests to contactlessly arrange restaurant reservations, in-room dining, luggage pick up and other concierge services, guaranteeing the seamless and attentive service that Four Seasons is famed for.
