Madrid: Innovation and sustainability at every step
Madrid continues to establish itself year after year as one of the top destinations for corporate travel, attracting executives from diverse sectors such as fintech, healthcare, fashion, and energy, among others. With its extensive network of international connections, unique meeting spaces, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and world-class cultural offerings, the city provides an ideal ecosystem that blends business dynamism with European charm.
When it comes to business travel, balance is key: professional agendas need to be complemented with moments of relaxation and experiences that truly matter. Today, we’re sharing the highlights of an itinerary that ExecuTrips Madrid custom-designed for a group of executives who trusted us to organize their business visit to the city.
Professional Agenda
One of the main goals for this travel program in Madrid was to closely explore the city's innovation and sustainability ecosystem through a business forum, which led us to select La Nave as the ideal venue for this meeting.
With its focus on technology, sustainability, and entrepreneurship, La Nave is a symbol of the most innovative side of Madrid. Located in a former factory transformed into a cutting-edge space, this innovation center was the chosen venue.
During the forum, attendees were able to connect with industry players and also had the opportunity to engage with some of the tech startups and pioneering companies based at La Nave.
The Madrid EDITION Hotel as the Itinerary's Base
The Madrid EDITION became the ideal choice for this itinerary. It is a symbol of design, elegance, and comfort, transforming the concept of high-quality hospitality in the city. Strategically located just steps away from the main business and cultural centers, this hotel has established itself as one of the preferred choices for our most discerning corporate clients.
We highlight its commitment to sustainability, backed by the prestigious LEED Gold certification. This recognition ensures that every aspect of the hotel, from its architecture to its operations, meets the highest environmental standards. It is a commitment to innovation and responsibility that reflects the values of many of the companies that trust us.
Team Building in the Heights
After an intense workday, there's no better way to unwind than by doing so high above the city. One of the most acclaimed activities of the itinerary took place at the spectacular terrace of the Círculo de Bellas Artes, a location that offers one of the most impressive views of the Madrid skyline.
In this setting, the sunset over Madrid served as a backdrop for a private mixology masterclass, exclusively designed for our group. Guided by expert bartenders, participants learned to create innovative cocktails using cutting-edge techniques and unique ingredient combinations. Meanwhile, they enjoyed a selection of signature cocktails, specially crafted for the occasion, as the city's lights began to illuminate the horizon.
Culinary Experiences
For this itinerary, we designed a gastronomic tour to discover the diversity and richness of Madrid's culinary offerings.
Lana Restaurant was one of the culinary temples selected. Surrounded by a contemporary and carefully designed atmosphere, it's no surprise that Lana is one of the most acclaimed references for an evening out. This restaurant takes the grill experience to a new dimension, with exceptional quality meats perfectly cooked on its grill. With its top-quality products, mastery of embers, cuisine, service, and wine list, it is a must-visit for carnivores.
Umiko added the most exotic touch to the tour. This restaurant operates with a unique concept in fusion cuisine. It perfectly combines the flavors of Peru, Spain, and Japan, making every dish rich and incredibly creative.
For this occasion, we took our clients' experience to the next level by organizing an evening at the chef's table, where diners were treated to a personalized menu prepared directly by Umiko's chefs in their presence.
Lastly, we cannot overlook the experience at CEBO. Our group enjoyed an intimate evening at CEBO, led by Chef Javier Sanz. For us, his offering is undoubtedly one of the most recommended Michelin-star experiences in Madrid's current gastronomic scene. A cuisine where the product, in its essence, takes center stage, and the menu is a unique tasting that changes according to the market products of each season.
