Destination: Madrid

Where to Stay:

"The Santo Mauro Hotel, designed by Lorenzo Castillo. It's divine."

What to See:

“Madrid is known for its great museums. Start at the Prado and do not miss the Meninas by Velasquez and all of Goya works, too. I’ve seen them countless times and every time feels like the first time.”

“There is a multi disciplinary space in Madrid called The Philocalist. They organize art openings, pop ups, book signings and so on. Their curation is immaculate and always makes me feel that I’ve discovered something new.”

“Of course, El Retiro park. It’s romantic, it’s elegant, it’s a perfect stroll in one of my favourite cities in the world.”

Where to Eat:

“Probably my favorite restaurant in the world is Los 33 in Madrid. From the quality of the food, to the taste of the dishes, to the ambience and the coolest playlist–I wish every city in the world had a Los 33.”
