The 2026 Award Ceremony to Be Held in Madrid
We are pleased to announce that the 11th HvO World Award Ceremony will be held in Madrid, the capital of the Kingdom of Spain.
The venue will be the prestigious Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, a luxury hotel magnificently restored from historic buildings.
Located in one of Europe’s foremost centers of art and history—home to the Royal Palace, the Prado Museum, and the Puerta de Alcalá—this exceptional setting provides a truly distinguished stage for our celebration.
Madrid, a city that symbolizes the passion of Spain, is where the elegance of royal heritage meets the artistic legacy of masters such as Goya and Velázquez, along with world-renowned gastronomy and warm hospitality.
The award ceremony, to be held amid such splendor, will offer our laureates an experience more memorable and extraordinary than ever before.
