Lobby Art Gallery
Welcome to Hotel Emperador: where art meets hospitality
In the heart of Madrid, Hotel Emperador not only offers luxury accommodation, but also a unique cultural experience. We have completely transformed our Lobby Bar into the Lobby Art Gallery, a space dedicated to contemporary art and fashion in the heart of Gran Vía.
Since its inauguration in September 2017, the Lobby Art Gallery has established itself as an alternative gallery with a continuous programme of temporary exhibitions. Our aim is to promote artistic talent, both promising young artists and established artists.
Open Monday to Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to midnight. Free entry.
