Galería Canalejas to add wellness to its urban luxury offering in Madrid
AIRE Ancient Baths is set to open a centre that will complement the shopping, dining and hotel offering
Madrid is expanding its luxury offering with the incorporation of AIRE Ancient Baths into Galería Canalejas, for which the operator will develop a wellness centre of close to 2,200 square metres, with independent access from the Calle de Alcalá, a planned investment of 21.5 million euros and the creation of around one hundred jobs, within a complex that is diversifying its top-of-the-range commercial offer with experiences also linked to gastronomy, accommodation and personal care. Luxury in Madrid will no longer be limited to an exclusive purchase, a carefully curated meal or a stay at a high-end hotel. Within the Canalejas complex, these offerings will be interconnected to provide a broader visit capable of accompanying the visitor through different moments of the day and bringing together complementary experiences in a single location.
The incorporation of AIRE Ancient Baths will strengthen this evolution. This new centre will occupy the ground floor of the shopping gallery, adding a different use to the complex. Wellness will have a space with its very own personality and will add another reason to visit this venue in the centre of Madrid. The space, measuring 2,200 m2, will host a concept focused on the relaxation of body and mind, inspired by the traditions of the baths of the ancient Greek, Roman and Ottoman civilizations. AIRE Ancient Baths will bring a model to Madrid that is already operating in cities such as New York, Chicago, Toronto, London and Copenhagen, as well as other locations in Spain. The company installs its centres in emblematic buildings located in the heart of cities, an approach that aligns with Galería Canalejas, which is integrated in a complex of seven historic buildings next to the Puerta del Sol. Galería Canalejas, inaugurated in June 2022, is advancing in its diversification strategy. This proposition will firmly establish well-being within Madrid’s luxury itinerary. A day out might start with a browse of shop windows, continue with an extended gastronomic experience and then set aside some time for rest without ever leaving the complex.
Location Madrid is located in the centre of Spain, within the Community of Madrid. Its main points of access are Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport and the Puerta de Atocha-Almudena Grandes and Chamartín-Clara Campoamor train stations, which provide high-speed and long-distance rail services.
