Florida Park

This legendary venue and nightclub, located in El Retiro Park, is a modern multi-purpose space dedicated to entertainment and gastronomy. There is a restaurant for a la carte dining as well as a tapas bar, in addition to a market with different themed stands, and a lovely terrace with views, along with a club venue to enjoy the Madrid nightlife with DJ sessions and elaborate shows.

Located in a 19th Century building, over the years it has been many different things, from a spa to a tearoom. As a concert venue and nightclub, it has welcomed the likes of Tina Turner and Ray Charles on stage, and it is said that Ava Gardner was a regular here back in the day. Without losing its glamour and in keeping with the times, it currently offers three-hour shows for guests to enjoy as they dine, sampling dishes prepared by chef Ivan Cerdeño.

Florida Retiro is divided into five spaces:

• El Pabellón, a restaurant where Michelin starred chef Ivan Cerdeño presents versions of legendary recipes by Carmen de Montesión, including dishes created for Florida Retiro that are rooted in traditional local gastronomy.

• La Galería, a 360º space where you can enjoy a wide variety of sharing platters and innovative tapas. Cosy but bright, it is partly open to the park, and there is no need to book.

• La Terraza, a roof-top terrace located above El Pabellón, next to the dome of King Ferdinand VII, where you can admire beautiful sunsets as you enjoy a sophisticated evening surrounded by warm colours, inspired by the oasis of the Moroccan desert. Closed in autumn and winter.

• Los Kioskos, a large terrace area that merges with the trees in the surrounding park, where you can sample a wide variety of street food made at six different stalls or kiosks based on different themes and products.

• Florida Motel & Casino is one of the most iconic night spots in Madrid, known for its evening entertainment, inspired by American motels and illegal casinos of the 1980s. The experience combines DJs, live shows and an immersive aesthetic where anything can happen. In the Sala Principal, you can dance to pop, reggaetón and electronic tracks; while in La Cúpula, techno beats will keep you pumped until dawn. With the best shows, guest artists and DJs.

Elegant and contemporary, this space was designed by two of the big names in this industry, the interior designer Guillermo García-Hoz and the decorator Pascuà Ortega.
