The soul of Spanish luxury: a new chapter for Hospes Hotels

29 September 2025

True luxury is a delicate balance of history, impeccable service, and a design that feels both timeless and contemporary. This is the very essence of Hospes Hotels. Each property is a carefully preserved piece of Spanish heritage, thoughtfully updated to offer a modern and deeply comfortable experience. This dedication to architectural and cultural preservation is what defines the Hospes experience.

Two iconic properties, in Granada and Valencia, now stand as outstanding examples of this commitment, following recent full renovations. Every detail has been reimagined to strengthen each hotel’s unique connection to its city. Alongside these, another property in Mallorca invites guests to experience Spanish hospitality by the sea, year-round.

The soul of Spanish luxury: a new chapter for Hospes Hotels

Granada’s renewed palace: Hospes Palacio de los Patos

Perfectly situated in the historic heart of Granada, Hospes Palacio de los Patos places guests within easy reach of the city’s most evocative landmarks, including the mesmerising Alhambra, the atmospheric Albaicín district, and Granada Cathedral - all just a short stroll away. This unique hotel comprises two buildings: a beautifully converted 19th-century palace, protected by UNESCO, and the contemporary Alabastro Building. Following a comprehensive renovation, the property now unfolds as a sophisticated blend of heritage and style, where every element is designed for comfort and relaxation.

Guests will notice immediately the tranquil gardens - a quiet oasis with Arab-inspired features and native fruit trees - offering the perfect respite from the city’s lively streets. Palace rooms exude a sense of grandeur and warmth, with soothing tones and plush fabrics that invite restful moments after a day exploring. In the Alabastro building, rooms are sleek and thoughtfully considered, combining contemporary furniture with practical touches for today’s traveller.

Every stay is elevated by attentive, personal service, with a committed team always on hand to tailor experiences, share insider recommendations, and anticipate needs before they arise. The Los Patos Restaurant showcases the best of Andalusian cuisine, prepared with local ingredients, and its elegant terrace is ideal for unwinding with an evening drink. Meticulous details - from experiential minibars to integrated technology - turn every visit into a truly memorable experience.

Valencia’s silk-inspired sanctuary: Hospes Palau de la Mar

Located in the vibrant heart of Valencia, Hospes Palau de la Mar sits on one of the city’s most attractive avenues, just a stroll from both the renowned City of Arts and Sciences and the atmospheric lanes of Valencia’s historic old town. Housed in a magnificent 19th-century manor steeped in local heritage, the hotel perfectly captures the city’s maritime character and rich silk-making tradition.

The first phase of an ambitious new renovation, inspired by the patterns and lightness of silk, is now complete. Each room has been thoughtfully reimagined, with elegant, silk-inspired design elements that gently separate the sleeping and seating areas. Meticulously upholstered headboards and custom-crafted minibar units add a sense of artistry, while the lighting design fosters a calm, welcoming atmosphere for every guest.

Beyond the comfort of the rooms, guests can relax in serene garden spaces - an slice of calm in the heart of the city. The team is dedicated to making each stay special, offering warm, attentive service, tailored recommendations and a genuine desire to ensure guests enjoy Valencia to the full. With further renovations planned for the hotel’s common areas, every corner of Hospes Palau de la Mar is set to reflect the refined luxury and artistic spirit that defines this corner of Spain.

A year-round Mallorcan escape: Hospes Maricel and Spa

For those seeking the serenity of the Mediterranean throughout the year, Hospes Maricel and Spa in Mallorca delivers an exceptional coastal experience. Open every season, it offers guests the unique pleasure of a seaside stay—even through winter’s calm. The setting by the sea is truly spectacular.

The acclaimed breakfast at Hospes Maricel is just the start. The Bodyna Spa, with its range of wellness treatments and relaxation facilities, encourages guests to pause, unwind and reconnect. The architecture, blending a historic 1920s palace with a modern annex, is connected by a dramatic underground walkway. The Christmas and New Year’s festivities are particularly special, providing a unique and restorative atmosphere, accompanied by the gentle sounds of the waves.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Singapore through the seasons: why there’s always something to celebrate

10 August 2026

Singapore may be compact, but its calendar is packed with celebrations that can transform an already memorable city break into something even more special. Throughout the year, its neighbourhoods are illuminated by festival lights, the Marina Bay skyline becomes the backdrop for fireworks and motor racing, and streets fill with parades, markets, music, and food. Many events reflect Singapore’s multicultural identity, giving visitors the chance to experience Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international traditions within the same city. You don’t necessarily need to plan your entire holiday around one event, either. Time your visit well, and Singapore’s annual celebrations can add colour, flavour, and a real sense of occasion to the attractions, restaurants, and neighbourhoods already on your itinerary.
