Barceló Hotel Group Chosen As The Best Hotel Management Company In The World 2019

After seeing 11 of its hotels recognised at this year’s World Travel Awards, it was the turn of Barceló Hotel Group itself to be awarded a prestigious accolade, as it was named Best Hotel Management Company 2019.

The ceremony for the World Travel Awards, which recognise excellence in the tourism sector, was held at the Royal Opera House in Muscat, the capital of Oman.

Jaime Buxó, Chief Business Development Officer at Barceló Hotel Group, said: “Winning this award is an international milestone, which recognises the enormous work that we are doing to standardise our processes and offer an excellent management service worldwide.

“The hard work has already paid off; 56% of our hotels are incorporated under the management regime and this formula has allowed us to sign agreements this year to enter seven new destinations. Hungary, Tunisia and Dubai landed in 2019; and hotels will open in the Maldives, Sri Lanka, Poland and Slovenia between 2021 and 2022.”

Jaime Buxó continued: “This success has largely been due to the recognised ability of Barceló Hotel Group to sign agreements based on the needs of our local partners. It is something that differentiates us and positions us as a European hotel company with greater flexibility and ability to adapt to the particular needs of each hotel project.”
