Founded in 1961, the company is known for personalised service, high operating standards, elegant accommodation, and strong attention to guest experience. Four Seasons Madrid brings the brand’s luxury positioning to the Spanish capital, combining hotel accommodation, dining, wellness, and event facilities in a historic central setting.

Working in Spain Islands

Spain’s main island employment destinations include Mallorca, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Ibiza, and Menorca. Tourism creates opportunities in hotels, restaurants, finance, guest services, events, wellness, maintenance, and marine activities, with demand strongest during the summer season. Island culture is relaxed and community-focused, blending Spanish traditions with regional languages, festivals, seafood, outdoor living, and strong social life. Lifestyle benefits include beaches, mild climates, hiking, and water sports, although housing can be expensive in popular areas and transport may be less convenient than on the mainland. EU, EEA, and Swiss citizens can work in Spain with the required registration. Non-EU applicants generally need an employer-sponsored work permit and visa before starting employment. Madrid is not an island; candidates should confirm the exact work location, contract, accommodation, and relocation support directly with Four Seasons.
