The Four Seasons in Madrid has been voted one of the top 50 hotels in the world in 'The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024' awards. The five-star hotel is in 32nd place this year, having dropped eight places from the 24th place it achieved in 2023. It is the only Spanish hotel, as the Six Senses Ibiza has fallen off the list, which is headed by a hotel in Thailand.
Capella Bangkok has been voted the best hotel in 2024. The hotel - which was ranked 11th last year - is made up of apartment-sized villas and suites. The hotel designs exquisite complimentary activities customised for its guests and features the gastronomic input of chef Mauro Colagreco. It has overtaken Italy's Passalacqua, located on the shores of Lake Como, which is now in second place. In third place is the Rosewood Hong Kong, which was then second. The third in 2023, the Four Seasons Bangkok, now falls to 14th place.
The awards ceremony was held on 17 September in London, the headquarters of the organisation that awards the '50 Best' to hotels, restaurants and bars.
'The World's 50 Best Hotels 2024' includes establishments in up to 35 destinations around the world. According to the British organisation, its 580 anonymous inspectors travel the globe testing the best. In this 2024 list, the countries with the most award-winning hotels are Thailand, France, Italy and Mexico, closely followed by Japan and the United States.
The Four Seasons in Madrid is located in the Canalejas centre, a few steps away from Puerta del Sol, where the luxury shops of Galerías Canalejas, a food court with around 20 different gastronomic proposals and exclusive residences are also located.
It opened in September 2020, signalling the arrival of numerous five-star hotels in the Spanish capital. On its top floor is the Dani Brasserie restaurant owned by chef Dani García, which also has a rooftop terrace with views.
Four Seasons - which has more than a hundred hotels around the world and counts Bill Gates among its current owners - was founded in 1961 in Canada by the then architect and builder Isadore Sharp.
