On its second anniversary, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has risen to the occasion as quite the icon in the capital for celebrations at this time of year. From the emblematic Christmas tree that adorns its façade to the offer it boasts within its walls, this Hotel is the obvious choice for those wishing to enjoy the magic of Christmas in all its spectacular glory. Where Christmas magic meets those ready to enjoy every moment of their celebrations to close out the year, the most photographed corner in Madrid during the festive season reinvents itself yet again to turn Christmas and New Year’s Eve into two very unique moments.
This year, a special focus has been placed on gastronomy and showmanship to bring a culinary offer that will satisfy even the most demanding of palates and unique entertainment to see off 2022 in style thanks to a luxurious program that has been tailored to the Hotel and brings together a group of top international artists from various disciplines. Furthermore, for those who also want to enjoy Christmas Eve or Epiphany in magical surroundings, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has prepared two events full of Christmas flavour and spirit for sharing special moments in its majestic banquet halls that will include the corn macaroon and foie gras cream or the wagyu cured beef croquette as starters on its Christmas Eve Menu with a meat option of typical produce from the mountains of Madrid and a fish option of monkfish accompanied by Iberian dashi, all sublimely marinated. Those wishing to enjoy Epiphany with a vibrant brunch will be able to venture on a gastronomic journey around different stations: one offering patés, charcuterie and cheeses; a vegetarian station with a selection of garden vegetables; seafood dishes that include a shellfish mix and oysters with champagne gelée; and a Reyes sweets station with a selection of Roscón de Reyes flavours and the classic churros with a chocolate fountain and fruit skewers for those with the sweetest tooth.

The New Year’s Eve Gala: Music, Entertainment and Gastronomy, an Experience for All Five Senses
To end the year in the best way possible, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid is organising its iconic New Year’s Eve Gala to offer a luxury culinary experience accompanied by a program of experiences specially created and produced for Four Seasons Hotel Madrid by Rubén Nsue as choreographer and Artistic Director, who has more than 20 years of experience and has returned to Spain for this project.
The cocktail reception will begin at 8:00 pm with four rounds of appetisers and two permanent stations, one with oysters and another with a live Iberian ham slicer, all accompanied by covers of modern hits from the acclaimed violinist Sergey Maiboroda (1st Violin for the Barcelona Orquesta del Liceu) and the cellist Alicia Avilés.
Various performances have been created to offer a mix of styles in perfect sequence for a complete dinner show that will entertain guests while they enjoy such starters as the lobster, champagne and crunchy pearls among others, as well as such spectacular main courses as grouper with truffle, smoked cruciferous vegetables and essence of crab or the wagyu glazed rib, topinambur and citrus. Arrival by the master of ceremonies will give way to a performance with Spanish roots in which light, luxury and glamour combine to create a special atmosphere to carry guests into a fusion of Spanish dance, Flamenco and modern dance by six élite national performers with live percussion and batons to accompany the rhythm, all choreographed by Ester Carrasco.
This will be followed by the most intimate moment of the evening: an overhead spotlight in the middle of the stage designed to focus people’s attention on the star, Tayra Taylor, an up-and-coming singer from this year who will delight guests with Creep accompanied by an intimate/contemporary dancer performing alongside. This performance will introduce the sweetest and most citrusy part of the menu with a jasmine, orange and coconut sorbet and a dessert of gianduja cake, lemon yuzu and coffee ice cream to top it off.
Various scheduled acts will transport guests to the golden age of disco music, with artists singing, dancing and representing that great era. The grand finale will come in the form of a medley of songs by Studio 54 to recreate a short musical. The master of ceremonies will then set the scene for the twelve strikes of midnight to welcome in the new year in the outdoor garden of the Hotel’s main hall, where guests will enjoy a streamed broadcast of the bells with the traditional 12 lucky grapes.
As 2023 gets under way, the party will continue in the banquet hall with the great DJ and music producer from the Dominican Republic Mickey Dastinz, who will come to Spain for the occasion and delight guests with a session specially created for Four Seasons Hotel Madrid accompanied by various performances from other artists, the singer Tayra Taylor and the violinist Sergey, who will continue to entertain the evening with the latest popular hits. The party will continue into the early hours of the morning, when guests will also be able to enjoy the open bar with premium drinks and the best selection of sweet-savoury late-night snacks while Tamy Nsue provides the musical backdrop. Unquestionably the perfect culmination to a unique New Year’s Eve Gala that promises to be full of magic, feeling and art, as well as the very best gastronomic creations.
