Global lifestyle brand Nobu Hospitality, founded by Robert De Niro, Nobu Matsuhisa and Meir Teper, has announced plans to open its fifth Spanish destination in Madrid.

Centrally positioned in the heart of the Spanish capital’s Cortes District, Nobu Hotel Madrid will be home to a tri-level Nobu restaurant and bar, along with a state-of-the-art fitness centre and spa and an expansive rooftop bar and a lounge with views over the skyline.

The hotel will come to life following a transformation of an existing office building, located at 26 Calle Alcalá, between Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta del Sol.

Nobu Hospitality is entering into a long-term management agreement with Millenium Hospitality Real Estate SOCIMI (MHRE) to develop Nobu Hotel Madrid, its second Spanish pipeline project following the recent announcement of Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Sebastián.

Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, comments: “We’re absolutely thrilled to finally launch in the magnificent city of Madrid. A bustling mecca of art, culture and cuisine, the Spanish capital is an important destination for us.

“This will be our fifth hotel in Spain, and we look forward to further expanding our Spanish footprint to create a truly memorable hospitality experience for local residents as well as our international guests.”

The property's restaurant will be reimagined by Californian architectural/design group, Studio PCH, led by Severine Tatangelo.

Studio PCH has designed multiple Nobu properties including the popular Nobu Malibu and the upcoming Nobu Hotel San Sebastián, opening in 2023.

Adding to Nobu Hospitality’s European portfolio, the launch of Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Madrid marks the brand’s 11th hotel in the European continent, with properties in London, Barcelona, Ibiza, Marbella, Warsaw with Rome, San Sebastián, Santorini, Hamburg also in development
