2020 has been a difficult and complicated year for everyone. But Madrid has set itself the goal of making 2021 special. The hospitality industry, which has felt the effects of the crisis so keenly, will be opening a number of new establishments to the delight of both residents and the tourists we hope will gradually start to return. The inauguration of hotels like the Four Seasons, with a restaurant run by Dani García on its rooftop and the Galería Canalejas luxury shopping centre below it, has given us a new urban skyline that will soon also include the Mandarin Oriental Ritz. After an extensive renovation, the hotel will reopen under a new name but will continue to honour the 110-year history of one of the city's most legendary establishments. In spite of the situation, however, throughout 2020 numerous bars and restaurants have opened their doors in places experiencing a culinary boom, such as the popular Calle Ponzano, in the Chamberí neighbourhood, and the area surrounding El Park, which is brimming with tabernas and outdoor bars and cafés that are perfect for an aperitif or two. We are also happy to issue the true and heartening message that it is safe to enjoy cultural activities. The of Madrid is beating strongly in all the new art galleries and exhibition halls that are on their way to becoming cultural hubs and in the new workshops of artisans who are passionately recovering traditional crafts. Head to the new Casa de la Panadería shop to discover a great selection of their work. On these pages you will find all the new venues that have popped up in Madrid this year to bring us a bit of joy, so just step right in.
