Santo Mauro, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid
Check into this 19th-century ducal palace in the quiet, aristocratic Chamberí neighborhood. Before heading out, secure a table in the walled garden for a glass of local vermouth under the chestnut trees.
LOEWE Serrano Madrid
More like an elegant private gallery than a retail store, the Spanish fashion house's flagship features works by international artists alongside immaculate leather goods. It is a masterclass in modern Iberian aesthetics.
Smoked Room
With only 14 seats, Dani García’s ultra-exclusive, fire-and-smoke-centric tasting menu is one of the hardest reservations to score in town. Expect avant-garde preparations of pristine seafood and wagyu, executed right in front of you.
Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
Witness pop royalty Shakira light up the newly renovated, ultra-futuristic Bernabéu stadium on her European residency tour. It is a high-octane spectacle of hits and incredible showmanship in one of football's legendary cathedrals.
Bar Cock
Wind down at this wood-paneled institution where Madrid’s creative class has gathered since 1921. Order a classic dry martini or a Negroni, soak in the high-ceilinged English club atmosphere, and debrief on the night's performance.
