Madrid, Spain

To complement the festive atmosphere that will flood the city for the 16th edition of the prestigious World’s 50 Best Bars ranking event, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid has designed an exclusive series of experiences to be enjoyed on October 19 and 20, 2024 in its various gastronomy spaces: El Patio, ISA and Dani Brasserie. On each step of the journey, bartenders from different Four Seasons around the world will share their mastery of mixology by exploring the various traditions and styles of global premium cocktail making.

The program of events will kick off on October 19 with Bar Antoine from Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, which will transform El Patio into a homage to the relaxed luxury of the London scene. In turn, the flagship restaurant of Chef Dani García - Dani Brasserie - will host a partnership with Atrium Bar from Four Seasons Hotel Firenze, a dedication to illustrious celebrities, which will prepare some of its best drinks as a way to enjoy a splash of Tuscany in a glass for the occasion. Meanwhile, ISA will welcome MÚZSA from Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest, the first luxury artisanal cocktail bar in the city that combines the elegance of Art Nouveau with a touch of the contemporary. At the same time, Stilla from Four Seasons Hotel Milano also comes to ISA for a journey to the “quadrilatero della moda italiana” with its creations.

The program continues on October 20 with Bandista from Four Seasons Hotel Houston, which will transform El Patio into a 1920s speakeasy with Latin influences while remaining faithful to its Texan style. At the same time, the epicentre for fine drinking on the Athenian riviera - Avra Bar - will take over Dani Brasserie while ISA will welcome BKK Social Club from Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, recognised among the World’s 50 Best Bars in 2023, with an offer inspired by Latin American flavours and Buenos Aires glamour. Simultaneously, ARGO from Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, recognised as #9 in Asia’s 50 Best Bars in 2024 for its work with the most unique spirits from around the world, will also reveal its magic at ISA, the quintessential Asian oasis at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid.

On both days, ISA will also take over the Presidential Suite at Four Seasons Hotel Madrid and transform it into a secret speakeasy inspired by the clandestine nature and spirit of disobedience during the Prohibition years. The event will take place from 10:00 pm to 1:00 am, featuring a unique experience sponsored by House of Suntory and Macallan. It will begin at ISA, where guests will be guided to the suite for an evening of live entertainment, food stations, a champagne corner, and a photocall to capture memorable moments, along with other exciting surprises.

It is worth mentioning that, once this experience has concluded - on October 21 - Dani Brasserie will also host the Bartender’s Feast Gala tribute dinner ahead of the gala on October 22 in honour of the bartenders nominated for the 50 Best Bars.

With this schedule of events, which is based on a synergy between the mixology talent from various Four Seasons around the world, guests will be able to enjoy an exclusive cocktail experience during each one of the guest shifts at El Patio, Dani and ISA, with the experience culminating at the Speak-Isa in the Presidential Suite. Four Seasons Hotel Madrid thus becomes an essential destination for enthusiasts of the liquid art during the celebrations surrounding 50 Best Bars 2024.
