Outdoor hospitality in Europe: the rise of the horizontal hotel

Outdoor hospitality in Europe – once seen as rustic or seasonal – is experiencing a major transformation. Spurred by the pandemic, technological advances, and investor interest, this sector is evolving into one of the most dynamic and resilient parts of the tourism landscape. Travellers are now choosing nature-based experiences, combining comfort with open-air escapes.

A new talent cycle in hospitality

The hospitality industry is entering a new cycle of growth. Despite solid momentum in both investment and demand, it continues to face a persistent structural challenge: the shortage of qualified talent. In this context, the way people are managed has become a critical factor, with direct implications for operational sustainability and the guest experience.

Hotel financing challenges in 2025

The modernization of Spain’s hotel sector has progressed at different speeds in recent years. While large hotel groups and high-category assets have successfully attracted investment for their repositioning, medium and small hotels— which constitute a fundamental part of the sector and are mostly owned by individual proprietors—face a structural deficit in CAPEX investment. This lack of resources limits their ability to modernize, affecting their competitiveness and jeopardizing their viability against large investors and hotel chains.

Talent management in independent hotels: a key to competitiveness

The professionalization of Human Resources processes in independent and family-owned hotels is essential for improving competitiveness. Staff turnover, the lack of qualified talent, and the need to enhance organizational culture are challenges that can be addressed through effective training strategies, career development plans, and an attractive employer brand. Investing in talent management not only reduces costs and improves team satisfaction but also has a direct impact on service quality and guest experience.
