Four Seasons Hotel Madrid is a 200-room hotel in Centro Canalejas, a seven-building complex on Calle de Sevilla in central Madrid, Spain. Opened in 2020 after the restoration of buildings dating from the late nineteenth century, it is a short walk from Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía, and Plaza Mayor. Direct access to Galería Canalejas connects the hotel to luxury shopping and dining.
Its design combines historic structure with contemporary interiors: gilt-topped columns, a large central skylight, a sleek spiral staircase, and artwork by emerging Spanish artists define the public spaces. Rooms overlook the city or inner courtyards, while 39 suites have separate living and sleeping areas. Adjoining rooms make the hotel practical for families, and the layout also suits longer stays.
Dani Brasserie takes the rooftop, serving Spanish cuisine from Dani García; Isa focuses on Asian street food and cocktails. The four-floor wellness center is Madrid’s largest, with massage, facials, yoga, and personal training. This is a strong base for guests who want central sightseeing, in-house dining, shopping access, and substantial spa facilities. Its current pedigree includes two MICHELIN Keys and a Forbes Travel Guide Five Star rating for 2026.
