The multi-use complex will include the 215-room Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, luxury residences also managed by Four Seasons, a shopping center, and a 500-space parking garage. Construction is projected to begin at the end of 2013.
The introduction of the world’s most prestigious hotel brand reinforces Madrid’s position as a venue for major international events. There would be invested EUR 500 million in the project.
