Gabana Club, the mythical and exclusive party room of the ‘beautiful people’ of Madrid, number one luxury leisure and entertainment center in Europe, reopens its doors after six years of silence in a new location in Madrid, Calle de María de Molina, 39 and Príncipe de Vergara.
This is a reopening to resurrect a career full of unforgettable moments since the Pajares brothers They opened the store in 1996 and had to stop in 2018 to the sadness and desolation of the most VIP clients from around the world. “The premises became too small and it also coincided with the end of the lease on Velázquez Street,” he explains. Abel Ramirez, director of the room, elated when remembering the old Gabana they passed through since Cristiano Ronaldo to Salma Hayek, Bruce Willis, Sofia Loren, the King Felipe or his nephew Froilán. It was a golden era for the capital, 23 years of success whose walls encapsulated the secrets of several generations of the jet set..
Gabana was the cradle of ‘glamour’ that brought together world stars, the nightclub in Spain where the most bottles of champagne were uncorked.”One of the parties that we remember with special affection was the one in which we enjoyed the presence of Mario Vaquerizo, Alaska, Bimba Bosé and David Delfín. They were regular customers, and one night the four friends played music for the entire room,” recalls Ramírez. “This event became one of the most exciting nights in Gabana,” he emphasizes.
They weren’t the only ones who showed off their DJ skills. Bruce Willis arrived as a client and ended up playing music, while Tom Jones closed the Gabana sessions showing off and having fun with his friends.
Other well-known clients who were encouraged to play some songs have been Pierre Sarkozy, the son of Nicolas Sarkozy, and Connor Cruise, the son of Tom Cruise, remembers Abel Ramírez.
But what was the secret to attracting so many celebrities? Gabana’s security and front-of-house team has always been very serious and rigorous with clients and friends. “At that time, the social press was very invasive with public figures and they valued feeling comfortable. That is why Gabana became the reference space for VIPs,” adds Ramírez.
The stars of Real Madrid and Gerard Piqué
Gabana was the favorite nightclub of the Real Madrid stars of the time. When the players received a tip-off from some public relations that the coach Carlo Ancelotti, a resident of the premises, entered through the door, everyone left through the emergency exit. It was also the culé’s favorite destination Gerard Piquéwho escaped to Madrid during the week to enjoy the capital’s nightlife.
The then Prince Philip He celebrated his bachelor party there. just like the daughter of José María Aznar, Rafael Medina or Julio Iglesias Jr.
And what does the new Gabana offer that other leisure venues don’t?
With more than 1,063 square meters and more than two decades of success, the new Gabana Club by Tito Pajares, partner of Sofía Mazagatos, aspires to reconquer the top of the most exclusive leisure in Europe.
Gabana Club does not want to be the party room where the musical proposal is the protagonist, but rather wants to return the spotlight to customers. “That customers can socialize, dance and have fun in an environment created and designed for this and set to fun and current music,” continues Ramírez before highlighting other keys to Gabana’s success: a winery of spirits and champagne that is difficult to match, a traditional hospitality service proposal, focused on maximum attention and a professional security team to ensure the safety and discretion of clients.
Gabana Group is the largest nightlife project in Spain created solely with Spanish capital, and It is on par with other cities in the world such as New York or London.
Parties, shows… The luxury of music and sophistication now merge again to create a unique environment where the celebration aspires to be art.
