Lobby Art Gallery
Art ambassadors
We have fully reinvented the Lobby Bar of Hotel Emperador and turned it into a space dedicated to fashion and art. In our quest to promote talent, we have prepared an exhibition programme to showcase the work of young and established artists.
Inaugurated in September 2017, Lobby Art Gallery presents itself as an alternative art gallery which hosts temporary exhibitions and a permanent programme promoting artists from different art disciplines, ranging from abstract art to collages, sculptures and even interventions in our street art space.
Open Monday to Sunday from 10.00 a.m. to midnight. Free entry.

The Madrileñer
The Madrileñer is a collective project of local artists who illustrate stories of Madrid and its habitants (the MADRILEÑERS) who have created for Lobby Art Gallery the exhibition 11 Artists – 11 Stories.
It was born with the aim of encapsulating a perception of MADRID and turning it into a decorative object, with a special meaning for those who have walked through its streets and with artistic value for those who know about art. It is granted the good work of this collective of illustrators who love Madrid and whose artistic career is beginning to be recognized. Pieces printed in limited editions, with certificate of authenticity signed by their creators.
Each illustration tells a story of Madrid, its people or its lifestyle, which fit perfectly into a creative puzzle. The artists develop the illustration with different techniques and limited editions are faithfully printed on 200 gsm Hahnemühle PhotoMatt paper, in 12 inks (giclée or museum quality), in pieces that can last more than 100 years. A careful art direction process, from the selection of the artists and stories to be captured, to the joint work of fine-tuning the image to make each piece unique.

Javier Melús
Javier Melús, a reference in the current pop-art presented a selection of works of the Pop Art genre. Paintings with a great visual charge in which irony, humor and ambiguity are very present; there is no particular message in them, the quotidian is what is really important, the viewer is really the one who has to make the interpretation of what he sees.
Self-taught, he evolved from the reflection of the Navarrese landscapes of his native land to collage, technical experimentation, the use of materials and ironic and humorous expression with icons from comics, advertising and cinema. Javier Melús has exhibited his work in galleries and cultural centers in Spain and abroad.

Aitor Saraiba
An exhibition consisting of a selection of recent works in different formats, drawings, ceramics, textiles and paintings. Saraiba’s creations are based on a complex and sentimental approach where references to magic, classical culture, popular wisdom, fused with an important autobiographical substratum.

A traditional essence
The Lobby Bar of Hotel Emperador has always stood out for its English-style elegance, combining the essence of tea rooms and classic British bars, to which we have added a touch of art and culture yet still maintaining the spirit which has consolidated us as a favourite choice in Gran Vía.

Comfort and elegance in Madrid
Relaxing while you observe the daily life of a city like Madrid is a luxury you cannot afford to miss, especially if you are doing so from a place such as the Lobby Art Gallery of Hotel Emperador. This relaxing spot offers comfortable armchairs, some of them of the chesterfield variety, and a sophisticated decor visible through the large windows overlooking Gran Vía.

Simply irresistible
We offer a large selection of cocktails, beers, wines and a tasty light menu which includes salads, sandwiches, burgers and desserts. We are the best option to relax and unwind before dinner with a cocktail or a drink after a long day of work or sightseeing.
