Art Without Borders | Hotel101 Madrid — 24 June 2026
An extraordinary evening at Hotel101 Madrid, brought to life by our Madrid team in collaboration with Kate Contemporary Art Gallery.
Held in the hotel's multifunction room, the event welcomed approximately 60 guests for a night that celebrated the rich cultural connections between the Philippines, Spain, and Japan — through art, gastronomy, and hospitality.
Guests explored a curated exhibition of contemporary artworks inspired by Japan, alongside pieces by distinguished Filipino artists, including renowned contemporary painter Vincent de Pio. The atmosphere was set with Japanese-inspired canapés, an omakase experience, premium sake and whisky tastings, and live jazz music.
The evening was presented by Fernando Herrera-Lasso, Director of Global Sales & Distribution, Hotel101, and carried special significance with the endorsement and presence of Ambassador Philippe J. Lhuillier of the Philippine Embassy in Spain, who was accompanied by DHM and Consul General Mark Francis C. Hamoy, Consul Dyan Kristine Miranda-Pastrana, Commercial Counsellor Althea Karen P. Antonio, Col. Joseph Jeremias Cirilo C. Dator, Labor Attaché Angela Librado-Trinidad, and Welfare Officer Verusckha Ardel Maling.
As Ambassador Lhuillier reflected, Hotel101 Madrid — as the brand's first European project — represents a proud milestone in Filipino entrepreneurship and hospitality on the international stage. The Embassy's participation underscored the power of cultural diplomacy: strengthening the bonds of friendship between nations through art, dialogue, and shared experiences.
The evening also served as the stage for Hotel101 Global to unveil its latest international development — Hotel101-Niseko in Hokkaido, Japan.
