Four Seasons Hotel Madrid Marks Five Years as Spain's Only World's 50 Best Hotel

Four Seasons Hotel Madrid marked its fifth anniversary in 2025 under the banner Five Years of History, Service and Excellence, a notable milestone for a hotel that arrived in the Spanish capital with high expectations and has largely met them. Occupying seven restored heritage buildings in the Centro Canalejas complex, steps from Puerta del Sol, it quickly became the reference point for luxury in the city.

The recognition backs up the reputation. The hotel ranked number 32 on The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024, the only Spanish property on the list, holds two Michelin Keys from the 2024 guide, and retained Forbes Five-Star status for both hotel and spa in the 2025 and 2026 Star Awards. It was also named Best Urban Hotel in the Condé Nast Traveler Spain 2026 Awards.

Dining is led from the rooftop by Dani Brasserie, the restaurant of Chef Dani García, with sweeping views over the city, complemented by the Asian-inspired Isa Restaurant and Cocktail Bar. Five years in, the hotel has settled into its role as the address against which new Madrid openings are measured.
