Welcome to Barceló Group
|
|
|
Barceló Group was established in Palma de Majorca (Spain) more than 75 years ago and it is one of Spain’s leading tourism companies and one of the most important worldwide. The group is owned by the Barceló family and has been run by three generations of family members.
Its hotel and travel divisions operate more than 185 hotels in 15 countries and 505 travel agencies in 23 countries. These figures put the company as the third hotel chain in Spain, the leading Spanish hotel chain in the USA and the UK, and the 24th worldwide.
The company, which in 2007 was awarded the Prince Felipe Business Excellence Award in the category of Business Competitiveness-Big Business, employs at present over 25,000 staff.
Although its origins must be traced back to sun and beach holidays, Barceló Group, through its hotel division Barceló Hotels & Resorts, has shown a strong commitment to city tourism over the last years until getting at present a well-balanced portfolio, with a 50% of leisure hotels and a 50% of city hotels.
Another generational change was taken to adapt to the latest market trends, which has put the Majorcan Group in the high segment of the market. 9 out of 10 of its hotels are 4 and 5 star, and 2 out of 3 hotels are newly built or have been recently refurbished.
