I stayed in one of the well-appointed premier rooms, designed for both business and relaxation. I was able to work at the desk, dine at the table and unwind on the chaise longue beside the window. I loved looking at the bustling street scene below and listening to the sweet violin music being played across the street.
Dining at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid
The hotel offers Dani, a delightful brasserie that overlooks the city with both indoor and outdoor seating on the 7th floor. This splendid rooftop restaurant headed by acclaimed Spanish Chef Dani Garcia features a fusion of Michelin-starred specialties with traditional Andalusian cuisine. Serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I loved their breakfast buffet starting out with Lavazza Coffee and an Egg Benedic-tion made with English muffin, smoked salmon, and Hollandaise Sauce.
The lounge El Patio features authentic Spanish cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; and a fabulous Afternoon Tea in the lobby.
Isa is a gastro lounge that offers an infusion of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine with a signature cocktail bar in an elegant, yet mysterious setting. Isa has also been awarded the “Best New International Cocktail Bar in Europe as a 2022 Spirited Awards Honoree.” They have recently launched Sakura Cocktails which creates a dramatic effect using light, smoke, and flavors. Try The Breeze, made with Tequila El Jimador, Tangerine, and Green Pea.
