The Mayor visits the Gran Hotel ahead of its gradual reopening to the public after renovation
The Mayor of Almería, María del Mar Vázquez, has made an institutional visit to the iconic Gran Hotel Almería to see firsthand the results of its ambitious comprehensive renovation. During the tour, the Mayor highlighted the importance of recovering this historic asset for the city's tourism, emphasizing its role as an economic driver and a benchmark for Almería's hospitality industry.
The establishment is now beginning a gradual reopening following months of intense work that have completely renewed its appearance. The renovation has not only modernized the rooms and common areas but has also opted for an avant-garde façade that revitalizes the seafront and urban environment, while maintaining the essence that made it the capital's first four-star hotel in 1967.
A key point of the visit was the presentation of the new energy efficiency systems, which are part of Ohtels' firm commitment to sustainability. The Mayor spoke positively of the chain's dedication to quality tourism that respects the environment, integrating technologies that significantly reduce the building's carbon footprint.
Ohtels Hotels & Resorts thus consolidates its investment in Almería, offering an establishment that combines its historical legacy with the demands of the contemporary traveler, focusing on the digitalization of services and a renewed gastronomic offer based on local products.
Ohtels Hotels & Resorts, based in Salou (Tarragona), has 11 hotels across Catalonia and Andalusia, all located in strategic points of the Spanish coast as well as major urban centers.
