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.

Portugal Hotel & Chains Report 2022

As we move past the pandemic, hotels have been experiencing a sharp upturn in performance, almost reaching 2019 levels. The march and rise of the brands and branded hotels seem inevitable however. The question remains; however, how many brands is too many and how good are we as an industry at explaining to the clients what each stands for? Portugal’s potential as a global tourist destination is now clear to all, and proof of this is found in an improvement in tourism statistics, which in turn translates into greater interest from international investors. International branded hotel supply is increasingly significant, far outstripping the national offer and showing a need for greater diversification by local chains.
