UMusic Hotels is unveiling its first-ever retail destination with the grand opening of the UMusic Shop inside UMusic Hotel Madrid. This flagship launch marks a bold new chapter in the brand’s journey – bringing music to life through immersive, physical spaces designed to connect more deeply with fans.

Situated in the heart of Madrid’s city center, with direct access from Carretas Street, the store anchors UMusic Hotels brand’s flagship property and sets a precedent for immersive, music-forward hospitality. Designed as both a cultural destination and retail environment, the space merges sound, design, and storytelling into a multidimensional experience for music lovers, travelers, and creators alike.

Spread across two floors, the store features high-fidelity sound systems, digital show windows, and curated installations of vinyl, apparel, and artist-driven merchandise. A sleek café corner offers grab-and-go refreshments, while fitting rooms and modular displays provide a boutique-style showcase for lifestyle collaborations. Natural materials and ambient lighting lend the space a warm, contemporary tone.

A curated destination for music superfans and culture lovers alike, UMusic Shop will serve as a platform for live cultural programming – hosting artist meet-and-greets, listening sessions, exclusive product drops, and brand activations. A permanent installation space will feature rotating exhibitions that explore the stories behind the music, offering fans and creators a deeper way to engage with Universal Music Group’s unmatched global catalog and roster. Standing at the intersection of music, culture, and fandom, UMusic Shop will also play a central role in the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated Mad Cool Festival, with exclusive experiences and announcements on the horizon.

From its street-level red velvet storefront to its vinyl-lined interior, every inch of the store has been curated with the fan experience in mind. For Universal Music Group and UMusic Hotels, it’s more than a retail move – it’s a cultural statement.

“At UMusic Hotels, we’re always exploring new ways to bring fans closer to the music and the artists they love, while delivering an exceptional entertainment, retail and hospitality experience,” said Jordi Solé, President, UMusic Hotels. “The UMusic Shop is more than a store; it’s a space for discovery, inspiration, and fan connection. We’re proud to bring this vision to life in Madrid, and it’s only the beginning.”

With this milestone launch, UMusic Hotels is redefining how music is experienced in the physical world, turning real spaces into immersive frontiers of fandom. UMusic Shop marks Universal Music Group’s second premium retail destination globally, joining the flagship UMG store in Tokyo’s iconic Harajuku district.
