Tucked between Puerta del Sol and Sevilla, Plaza de Canalejas is a small yet historically rich square that embodies Madrid’s old-world charm and modern luxury. With its grand architecture, prestigious hotels and exclusive shopping, this elegant corner of the city is a perfect blend of tradition and sophistication.
One of its crown jewels is the Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, housed in a meticulously restored early 20th-century building. Inside, you'll find Galería Canalejas, a luxury shopping arcade featuring high-end brands and a curated gourmet experience that highlights the best of Spanish cuisine. The Casino de Madrid, an iconic private club founded in the 19th century, adds to the area’s refined atmosphere.
Beyond its upscale appeal, Plaza de Canalejas sits at the crossroads of Madrid’s historic center, making it an ideal starting point to explore Sol, Gran Vía and the Barrio de las Letras. Whether you're indulging in fine dining, admiring the ornate facades, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, Canalejas is where Madrid’s past and present come together in effortless style.
