Economic Overview:
Spain's economy continues to perform well, with real GDP growth forecast at 2.7% and inflation at 3.2%. This favourable backdrop continues to support tourism demand and reinforces Spain's attractiveness as a hotel investment destination.
Occupier Market:
The Spanish hotel market achieved record operating performance during the first half of 2026. Strong demand growth supported higher revenue per available room, underpinned by robust room rates and resilient occupancy levels. Both urban and resort destinations continued to perform well, highlighting the strength and diversification of Spain's hospitality sector.
Investment Market:
Hotel investment activity remained exceptionally strong in H1 2026, reaching €2.66 billion. Transactions were primarily driven by single-asset deals due to the limited availability of portfolio opportunities, while resort destinations continued to attract the largest share of investment capital. Strong competition for prime assets and value-add opportunities is also contributing to further yield compression across the market.
