What more than 45 years ago was a small tavern created to employ a group of young people in Madrid next to the Teatro Real, today it is a unique business group with more than 500 employees, 10 restaurants, catering and event management lines, three hospitality schools, an online hospitality school, and a school for children 0 to 18 years old.

In addition to the Café de Oriente, other establishments of the Lezama Group include La Botillería and Taberna del Alabardero (Madrid, Pozuelo, Seville, Marbella and Washington DC). For events, Alabardero Catering serves companies and individuals who want to organize unique celebrations.

The Lezama Group defends the professionalization of the hospitality sector through its three schools: The Higher School of Hospitality in Seville, the School of Hospitality in Madrid, and Alabardero Training Costa del Sol.
