In Madrid, there is always a place that people start talking about before it officially becomes ‘the new must-visit spot’. This season, that name is 61., Grupo Mosh’s most intimate—and also most ambitious—project. This new enclave does not aim to join the capital’s nightlife scene, but rather to redraw it from within, at its own pace, with its own rules. It is a space designed for those who value privacy as a true luxury and understand nightlife as an almost ritualistic gesture.
Designed by Archidom Studio, 61. moves between restaurant, club and living gallery with studied naturalness. Its aesthetic stems from the controlled tension between a reinterpreted Venetian romanticism—soft shadows, curves, minimal ornamentation—and a sober brutalism that lends weight and presence. The whole has something of a carefully prepared scene about it, as if Madrid were revealing a more intimate version of itself, restrained but deeply refined.
The energy that accompanies the space has something of a shared secret. 61. does not seek to become the new viral hotspot; its vocation is different: to attract those who know how to read the atmosphere before the brand, those who find beauty in the precise lighting or in the texture of a material worked with intention. The night inside the space progresses with an almost choreographed cadence, where light, music and aroma construct a coherent sensory narrative that is difficult to imitate.
At the centre of this experience is the cuisine of Franco Franceschini, the group’s executive chef, who presents an elevated product offering with a discourse all its own. There is something honest about his grills, in the way each dish respects the raw ingredients and elevates them to a sophistication that is never ostentatious. The Angus ribs have become one of those dishes that justify talking about the place; the sole meunière brings balance and delicacy; and the ‘Abuela Nelly’ flan rounds off the experience.
But 61. is also an exercise in metamorphosis. What begins as an enveloping restaurant evolves organically into a club that beats at a different frequency. The light becomes denser, the music more physical, and the space mutates, as if it had been waiting for the right moment to reveal its second identity. It is not an ‘after dinner’ spot: it is a natural continuation of the night within the same universe.
Art is a fundamental part of its DNA. The works—a dynamic selection that is renewed every six months—are integrated into the space with an almost museum-like delicacy. The costumes designed by CASONÁ and the presence of pieces by LOEWE reaffirm the attention to detail, while a special collaboration with Nike introduces a contemporary counterpoint that balances sensitivity and modernity with precision.
This project marks a turning point in the expansion of Grupo Mosh, bringing to Madrid that blend of Marbella sophistication, hedonistic energy and curatorial sensibility that has defined its most iconic spaces. And Madrid needed a place like this: a hotspot that doesn’t behave like a hotspot. An exclusive venue that is recommended only to the right people, which lives at night but breathes art, gastronomy and design in equal measure. 61. is not a secret, but it is not public either.
