Galería Canalejas

In the former Palacio de la Equitativa, between Calle Alcalá and Calle Sevilla, is this exclusive shopping centre, the latest symbol of luxury in the heart of Madrid. Find over 40 boutiques selling fashion, accessories, perfume, and high-end jewellery and watches by some of the world’s most prestigious luxury brands (including Hermès, Cartier and Rolex), not forgetting a fantastic selection of restaurants and gastronomic concepts designed by renowned Michelin-star chefs.

Covering an area of 15,000 m2, Galería Canalejas is spread across three floors, with the ground floor and first floor dedicated exclusively to shopping. Luxury boutiques of international firms like Hermés, Cartier, Aquazzura, OMEGA, Rolex, Saint Laurent, Valentino, Zegna, Jimmy Choo or Louis Vuitton can be found here. The commercial area is also home to the Beauty Gallery by Isolée, with more than 20 brands of premium cosmetics, make-up and signature perfumes.

The central atrium of the ground floor houses Galería Canalejas Café, a space that evokes the iconic Madrid kiosks of the 19th and 20th centuries, with natural elements that are reminiscent of the city’s most emblematic gardens and parks. From breakfast to early dinner to afternoon tea, the café serves a unique gastronomic experience based on Spanish cuisine and tradition, merging traditional flavours with contemporary signature desserts by the renowned pastry chef, Alejandro Montes.

Its cocktail bar is inspired by Madrid fashion and culture.
