21. Coming Soon INTRODUCTION

With great eagerness, Madrid dives into 2021. After a very complicated year, we are slowly starting to think about returning to normal. The Spanish capital is more than ready to welcome visitors with open arms, and we hope that, very soon, tourists will once again choose us as their destination. There’s a lot going on, including the reopening of the Hotel Ritz – a true icon of the city – under the name Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid. Steeped in history, this hundred-year-old hotel has unsurprisingly become a place where locals gather and meet, for it now boats five new gastronomic spaces helmed by chef Quique Dacosta, who has three Michelin stars under his belt. The city’s terraces are once again brimming with life and, as we gladly welcome the warm weather, they are the place to be. As are the new lakeside restaurants at Park, which will make you feel as though you’re strolling down a seafront promenade. And to all this, we would like to add a very true and encouraging message: our culture is safe. Madrid’s heart is beating loud for all to hear in the city’s newest venues and immersive art galleries, which are always looking for new ways to attract visitors. Now, more than ever, the capital’s traditional artisan workshops remind us that these age-old trades are not as old as they seem… The upcoming months in Madrid promise many a new event: we’re ready for 2021 and all it brings.
