Paradise a La Carte Orchestrates Madrid’s Most Exclusive Gathering on the Eve of Spain’s Historic NFL Debut

The weekend‘s most coveted invitation was not at the Bernabéu, but at a private banquet inside the Four Seasons Madrid, where global leaders, haute cuisine, and contemporary art converged in a ritual of luxury.

 

MADRID, November 2025 — In the world of ultra-luxury, exclusivity is not just about where you are; it is about who is standing next to you. On the evening of November 13th, as Madrid held its breath for the NFL’s debut at the Santiago Bernabéu, the most desired access of the weekend was tied to an invitation whose influence transcended borders: the Royal Banquet conceived by Paradise a La Carte at the Four Seasons Madrid.


There, more than 300 guests gave shape to one of the most exclusive evenings the capital has witnessed in recent years—a gathering that transformed the city into a convergence point of power, culture, and sophistication.


Paradise a La Carte, the global luxury experience company bridging American innovation with European heritage, with offices in Miami and Madrid, designs bespoke journeys and transforms milestone events into lasting connections. The firm has quietly redefined the way travel and grand occasions are understood at the highest level. Its ability to connect the extraordinary with the intimate was evident in an event that functioned more as curatorial art than a dinner: an experience designed to transform a sporting milestone into a ritual of cultural immersion. In the Sol Ballroom of the Four Seasons, surrounded by a palace-like atmosphere, corporate titans, league leadership, Real Madrid executives, designers, tech founders, and diplomatic representatives shared a table in what the company described as “a sensory journey where past, present, and future coexisted in the same scene.”


A Banquet Reimagined as Total Theater

 

Two-Michelin-starred Chef Diego Guerrero orchestrated a progressive tasting menu that served as the evening’s narrative spine. Each course formed part of a progression traveling from 19th-century European splendor to an imagined 24th century. Latin Grammy-nominated Sonando Voy’s musicians evolved imperceptibly from baroque through jazz into electronic fusion, while the dancers of Compañía Elamor transitioned from courtly silhouettes to liquid contemporary forms. Jane Bardot’s jewelry designs captured the light of 3D mapping, transforming the ballroom from classical gold tones into a digital cosmos. It was during the seventh course, when the room mutated entirely, that even Real Madrid executives paused their conversations: the dinner had become a total theatrical production.


The banquet was merely the centerpiece of a broader program. Under the banner “Beyond the Game: Madrid Without Limits,” Paradise a La Carte orchestrated six days of experiences reserved for a select group of attendees. The itinerary included premium access to the Miami Dolphins-Washington Commanders game,  private visits to museums and ateliers typically closed to outsiders, and a gastronomic journey spanning seven Michelin-starred restaurants across coveted tables, including Coque, Saddle, and DStage. Logistics, executed in partnership with Aerovalue, ensured impeccable transfers and personalized cultural assistance at every touchpoint.


“This game marks a milestone,” expressed Marilyn Samlut, Co-CEO of Paradise a La Carte. “Madrid deserved more than a party—it deserved an experience worthy of the moment.” The company assembled a consortium of strategic partners combining tradition and innovation: NTT DATA, IWC Schaffhausen, Chopard, The Dalmore, Iberia, Galería Canalejas, Osborne, Cacao Sampaka, Vila Hermanos, Samlut & Company, P.A., and Cris for Cancer, among others.


The result was a weekend in which the city hosted an unprecedented sporting event and witnessed a demonstration of how contemporary luxury has evolved—from visual excess toward something far more profound: the feeling of belonging.

Esto se puede agregar por separado para dar a conocer los eventos que estamos diseñando en el futuro:


With only four global gatherings announced for 2026—including Formula 1 Miami, Formula 1 Madrid, the 2026 NFL Game in Europe, and the FIFA World Cup—the race for access has already begun. Participation remains intentionally limited, with allocation traditionally committed within 72 hours of announcement.
