As Madrid continues to cement its position as one of Europe’s most exciting cultural and luxury destinations, Nobu Hospitality announced the recent opening of Nobu Hotel Madrid.

Debuting in the city during a period of global attention, from the arrival of Formula 1 to its growing influence across fashion, art and gastronomy, Nobu Hotel Madrid marks the brand’s fifth Spanish property, bringing its signature pillars of exceptional dining, thoughtful design and heartfelt service to Spain’s capital for the first time.

At the center of the experience is a tri-level Nobu restaurant, bar and lounge, marking the debut of Nobu’s acclaimed dining experience in the capital. Alongside a rooftop terrace with views across the Madrid skyline, the venue is envisioned as a vibrant social destination where international visitors and locals come together against the backdrop of the city.

Led by GRONDA, the globally renowned architecture and design studio, the restaurant’s interior incorporates subtle Japanese nuances to create a timeless design language based on harmony, materiality and light. This philosophy has also guided GRONDA’s design scheme in the hotel lobby and other common areas.

The hotel offers 50 guestrooms and suites, along with public spaces such as a wellness area, providing an urban refuge in the heart of the city. Interiors feature warm wood tones, organic textiles, deep green accents and softly layered lighting, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views over Madrid. The Nobu Suite is the hotel’s signature top-floor retreat, complete with 1,130 square feet of elevated living space and a private terrace.

“The opening of Nobu Hotel Madrid marks a significant milestone for Nobu globally, and especially in Spain, joining our portfolio of properties in San Sebastián, Barcelona, Marbella and Ibiza,” said Natasha Hargan, general manager, Nobu Hotel Madrid. “Located in the heart of Madrid, the hotel will serve as an urban sanctuary, where distinctive design, world class Nobu cuisine, exceptional service, and a deep connection to the city’s culture come together to create a vibrant destination for both guests and the local community.”

Designed to elevate every aspect of the guest experience, the hotel offers exclusive Nobu in-room dining and priority access to the three-level Nobu restaurant. Thoughtful touches include Nobu Signature Beds, BYREDO bathroom amenities and secure parking on request, while a dedicated wellness area, indoor swimming pool and state-of-the-art Technogym fitness center provide a tranquil environment to unwind and recharge.

Located on Calle Alcalá, the hotel is positioned between iconic Plaza de Cibeles and bustling Puerta del Sol. Its neighborhood, Las Cortes, is one of the most cultural and dynamic districts, defined by charming streets and steeped in literary history.

Review: Prestige Oceanfront Resort

Vancouver Island gets progressively wilder as you leave Victoria behind and follow the coastline west. By the time you reach Sooke, about 45 minutes from the provincial capital, city blocks have surrendered to forests, rocky shoreline, sheltered coves and long views across the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Prestige Oceanfront Resort rises directly above Sooke Harbour, where boats move across the basin, and the Olympic Mountains form the horizon beyond the strait.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
