Forbes Media, in collaboration with SpainMedia, has officially unveiled Forbes House Madrid, a pioneering private members-only club designed to cater to an elite network of global entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators.
Strategically located in Madrid’s financial hub, this launch marks the debut of the Forbes House concept, an ambitious initiative to create a global network of private clubs. The project is the result of a partnership with SpainMedia, the publisher of Forbes España, one of the 43 licensed local editions of Forbes operating in 69 countries. Forbes House Madrid aims to become a dynamic space where influential figures from the worlds of business, media, politics, culture, and sports can engage, collaborate, and forge meaningful connections.
The inaugural community of founding members has been meticulously curated by the team at Forbes España, leveraging their in-depth knowledge of Madrid’s key movers and shakers. Future members will be required to demonstrate significant accomplishments in their respective fields and secure endorsements from at least two founding members as part of the selection process.
Spanning 2,000 square meters across five floors, Forbes House Madrid offers a variety of world-class facilities, including a rooftop bar, a sophisticated library, and a high-end restaurant led by Michelin-starred chef Adolfo Santos, with a strong focus on locally sourced ingredients. The venue also boasts a wine cellar and flexible event spaces, such as an auditorium, available for both large-scale gatherings and more intimate events. Each space has been meticulously designed to foster an atmosphere of comfort, privacy, and collaboration.
“Forbes House embodies our commitment to fostering high-impact communities and providing our global audience with the connections and resources they need to thrive,” said Peter Hung, President of Licensing and Branded Ventures at Forbes. “Madrid’s vibrant business and cultural landscape made it a natural choice for our first location. We’re thrilled to introduce this concept in partnership with SpainMedia and look forward to expanding our club network to other key cities around the world.”
Andrés Rodríguez, President of Forbes House Madrid, described it as a trailblazing venture, stating, “Forbes House Madrid will be the world’s first of its kind — a home for entrepreneurs, corporate visionaries, dreamers, and disruptors. It’s a space where ideas are born and deals are made.”
SpainMedia serves as the project’s principal investor, while Forbes Media and a select group of local investors hold minority stakes in the venture.
