Berasategui will act as the hotel’s gastronomic guru overseeing all the hotel’s food and beverage, with the star being his signature restaurant, Etxeco, set to become a true destination culinary experience.

The property’s interiors have been designed by renowned Spanish designer and architect Lázaro Rosa-Violan, whose vision is to create a quintessentially Madrilenian character with a contemporary slant. Key design features will include ‘sensory architecture’ that will define the hotel ambience, collaborative work spaces and social areas.

The BLESS Collection Hotels brand, is built around the concept of Hedonist Luxury, a unique proposition designed for citizens of the world - modern travellers, sybarites and pleasure-seekers. In its own words “BLESS Collection Hotels worships the pursuit of happiness and the good life”. Guests will enjoy the ultimate in luxury through a range of sensory exclusive experiences designed to feed the spirit.
