Bienvenido a Madrid
From a Collection of 19th-Century Buildings to the City's Grandest Hotel, discover Four Seasons Hotel Madrid
After seven years of renovation, the former headquarters of La Equitativa insurance company has been transformed into an oasis of tranquility and exclusivity: Four Seasons Hotel Madrid. Just steps from some of the city’s most celebrated landmarks, the hotel offers the perfect balance between discovering Madrid and retreating into an atmosphere of understated luxury.
Every detail is designed to make the stay a complete experience, from award-winning dining destinations to the largest spa in Madrid. Working alongside an international team of architects and designers, Four Seasons embarked on an ambitious restoration project involving seven 19th-century buildings.
The challenge was to preserve the distinct identity and architectural character of each structure, along with the original objects and details that had stood the test of time.
After the interiors were stripped back, historically significant elements — including doors, columns and even vaults from the former bank — were carefully restored and incorporated into the hotel’s design. Adding another layer of distinction, a collection of 2,000 works by Spanish artists is displayed throughout the property. Among its highlights is Starry Night, an installation created by Eduardo Pérez-Cabrero exclusively for the lobby staircase.
Accommodations range from extraordinary loft-style suites with double-height ceilings to the Royal Suite, which once served as the private office of the bank’s presidents and board members. Its original architectural features have been preserved and thoughtfully paired with contemporary touches. The Presidential Suite, meanwhile, was conceived as a sophisticated social space, with spectacular panoramic views that offer guests a privileged perspective of the city. Madrid’s culinary scene also reaches new heights at Dani, the signature restaurant by acclaimed chef Dani García, whose career includes three Michelin stars. Built around an innovative concept and a more relaxed, informal approach to fine dining, Dani offers an experience that moves beyond convention. Designed by renowned interior designer Martin Brudnizki, the restaurant combines an elegant yet inviting atmosphere with a creative menu inspired by the culinary traditions of Andalusia. Authentic regional flavors meet contemporary interpretations, resulting in dishes that are as inventive as they are distinctive. Whether stopping by for lunch, dinner or evening cocktails, guests can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Madrid, making the experience as much about the setting as it is about the food.
The Four Seasons spa is another standout, offering an exceptional retreat dedicated to relaxation and well-being. Spanning four floors, it is the largest and most impressive spa in the city, with an extensive range of treatments and wellness facilities. Its crown jewel is the rooftop pool, where spectacular views of Madrid’s skyline create an unforgettable backdrop.
The atmosphere is serene and restorative, offering a welcome escape from the city’s lively pace. Here, guests are encouraged to slow down, recharge and immerse themselves in a truly restorative experience. Personalized treatments and state-of-the-art facilities cater to a variety of needs, making the spa an essential part of the Four Seasons Madrid experience.
Once refreshed, guests can head back out to discover the city, with its rich history, remarkable architecture and vibrant cultural scene. At Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, the experience is not simply about finding a place to stay. It’s about discovering a destination where heritage, contemporary design, gastronomy and well-being come together under one extraordinary roof.
