On September 24, JW Marriott Hotel Madrid will once again transform La Botica into a meeting point in the heart of the capital.
On September 24, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., JW Sessions returns to JW Marriott Hotel Madrid, at La Botica, the hotel’s lobby bar, located at number 2 Calle Sevilla.
JW Sessions was born from a simple idea: to make the lobby more than just a place to pass through, transforming it into a meeting point from which to experience Madrid in a different way. Behind the initiative is JW Marriott Hotel Madrid’s desire to become an active part of the city’s social scene, opening its spaces not only to hotel guests but also to anyone who simply wants to drop in from the street. It is not just a one-off event, but a way of understanding the hotel as a living space, connected to what is happening in Madrid beyond its own doors.
For this second edition, a DJ set once again sets the pace for the afternoon, while La Botica puts the spotlight on its signature cocktails, in a space designed for staying awhile, chatting and enjoying the moment without rushing, right in the heart of the city.

La Botica and Botánicos Álvarez: a new take on tradition
JW Sessions takes place at La Botica, one of the two spaces that make up Botánicos Álvarez, the hotel’s gastronomic concept. The project draws on the legacy of the historic Álvarez Gómez perfumery and reinterprets it through a contemporary perspective inspired by the traditional art of the apothecary, where ingredients and aromas were combined with precision to create unique formulas. That same idea is now brought into the hotel’s culinary offering, expressed through two distinct spaces connected by the same philosophy: quality ingredients and honest cooking.
La Botica is the social, open lobby bar, where cocktails take centre stage. Its offering was developed together with Amarguería and mixologist Alberto Villarroel under the twist on classic concept, reinterpreting great classic cocktails from a sensory perspective inspired by perfumery, with each creation seeking to bring aromas and flavours together in an elegant, contemporary way. It is precisely in this space, with its cocktails taking centre stage, that JW Sessions finds its natural setting.

Sala de Mezclas, the other side of Botánicos Álvarez
Alongside La Botica, Sala de Mezclas completes the Botánicos Álvarez concept with a more relaxed and elegant restaurant offering. While La Botica embraces a social and spontaneous atmosphere, Sala de Mezclas offers a more immersive dining experience, designed for those looking for a leisurely dinner without leaving the sensory world that inspires the entire project.
Its menu combines tradition with international influences, always putting the ingredients centre stage. It features dishes such as beef with egg vinaigrette and capers, pappardelle with beef ragù and Parmesan, or Roman-style sole with tartare sauce, alongside Italian-inspired options such as its pizzas. A culinary journey that maintains the same precision and balance that define La Botica.
Two spaces, two rhythms and one shared concept: understanding gastronomy as a composition of aromas, flavours and techniques, where every ingredient plays an essential role within the hotel.
A new date in Madrid’s social calendar
Following its first edition last June, JW Sessions continues its journey with this second event, consolidating an initiative that offers new reasons to visit JW Marriott Hotel Madrid, beyond the stay itself. Through this initiative, the hotel reinforces its commitment to creating experiences that connect its spaces with city life, while continuing to explore the relationship between hospitality, culture and lifestyle.
On September 24, the music and cocktails of La Botica come together once again to create another afternoon of JW Sessions.
