For the eleventh consecutive year, Hotel Tapa Tour is back to showcase high end hotels as important gastronomic spaces. From 17 to 27 September 2026, Madrid will once more host the informal haute cuisine festival. For yet another year, Madrid’s iconic hotels will showcase their gastronomy in tapa format.
Hotel Tapa Tour is a gastronomic event and festival devoted to the promotion of hotel gastronomy. Flying the tapa flag, the initiative breaks down the architectural and psychological barrier between the haute cuisine of luxury hotels and citizens. It has been held annually in Madrid and Barcelona since 2016.
It is a unique festival of its kind which elevates tapas to the category of informal haute cuisine to crown it as the ambassador of cuisine at Madrid’s best hotels. The 2026 edition has confirmed the participation of more than twenty hotels, including Palacio de los Duques Gran Meliá, VP Plaza España Design, Riu Plaza España, Barceló Torre de Madrid, The Madrid EDITION, UMusic Hotel Madrid, CoolRooms Palacio de Atocha, Casa de las Artes Meliá Collection, The Palace Hotel Madrid, Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid, Hard Rock Hotel Madrid, Gran Hotel Inglés, Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, JW Marriott Madrid, The Principal Madrid, Brach Madrid, Hotel Montera Madrid, Hyatt Centric Gran Vía Madrid, Urso Hotel & Spa, Hyatt Regency Hesperia Madrid, InterContinental Madrid, BLESS Hotel Madrid, VP Madroño, Hotel Puerta América and Rosewood Villa Magna.
Hotel Tapa Tour offers the opportunity to taste up to four tapa options without the need for a prior booking, including Signature Croquette, National Tapa, Fusion Tapa and Sweet Tapa, as well as a pairing by each participating hotel.
The festival also has an in-house experience, which seeks to describe the gastronomic spaces that are hidden inside the hotel through a tasting menu consisting of four tapas. The activity is led by the hotel staff and is available at the Rosewood Villa Magna, JW Marriott Hotel Madrid, Barcelo Torre de Madrid and URSO Hotel & Spa.
