Palladium Hotel Group exceeds annual turnover of €1.2 billion with aims to expand in Asia and the Middle East

Posted in Business, News on 27 January, 2025

Spanish hotel management group Palladium Hotel Group has released its annual financial figures, as well as its key milestones for the future, including six new openings in the next two years.

The company has reported a positive balance for 2024, achieving a total revenue of €1.2billion. This result represents an increase of 12% compared to the previous year, reaffirming the group’s sustained growth since its consolidation as a hotel management company in 2020.

Globally, the group has increased its RevPAR by 10% compared to the previous year, driven by a 3% growth in occupancy and a 7% rise in the average daily rate. Additionally, the direct sales share increased by 19% year-on-year, reaching 29%.

These results have been driven in part by the strong performance of customer loyalty programmes such as Palladium Rewards, which saw over 45,000 new members join each month last year and now boasts over 1.1million members. Together with Palladium Travel Club, these programmes generated a total of 200 million euros, contributing 84% to the group’s overall direct sales share in 2024.

For the Chairman of Palladium Hotel Group, Abel Matutes Prats, “In 2023, the group reached an important milestone, entering the elite of hotel companies that exceed 1 billion in turnover. In 2024 we have consolidated that achievement, growing at double digits. We start 2025 with positive forecasts, which we hope will allow us to consolidate our business model, based on a strategy of healthy and profitable growth, always seeking to offer our guests a unique and unforgettable experience”.

Jesús Sobrino, CEO of Palladium Hotel Group, said: “We are very satisfied with the results obtained in 2024, which represent a 12% growth compared to the previous year and 60% compared to 2019. In addition, we start 2025 with very positive expectations, with important projects and the intention to expand our growth horizon in key destinations, such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East. To this end, we are working to strengthen the strategic alliances we have with partners and owners, and to establish new relationships that will facilitate this growth”.
