Apsis Hotels had an increase of 42% over the previous year

Apsis Hotels, the hotel chain started in 2003 with its centre in Barcelona, had a turnover in 2005 of over 24 million euros, an increase of 42% over the previous year. For 2006, the chain expects a turnover of 32 million and to thus continue to grow.These data confirm that for Apsis Hotels, 2005 was a year of expansion and growth, as the chain closed the year 2004 with 6 hotels, and did so in 2005 with 13. In 2005, the chain brought in its only hotel in Madrid, the Apsis Moderno; it opened two hotels in the province of Girona, the Apsis Sant Ferriol and the Apsis Nord Gironí; it consolidated its presence in Barcelona with the Apsis BCN Events and the Apsis Gran Ronda, and opened the Apsis Florida, the second hotel of the chain in Andorra.

Furthermore, Apsis Hotels started its European expansion with the Apsis Luchon in the heart of the French Pyrenees some 35 km. from Vielha. In this sense, we stress that the expansion outside Spain that forms part of the objectives that Apsis Hotels has set for itself in the short and medium term, apart from maintaining its consolidation and expansion at home. In fact the opening of two new hotels has already been confirmed, one in Barcelona in   2006 and the other in Paris in 2007.

With regard to Ehoteling, the other business line of Apsis Hotels, the good results this year lead us to hope that for 2006 this on-line room sale service will manage 50 hotels. Brought out in October 2004, in a little more than a year, Ehoteling now serves 24 hotels. This year, this figure is expected to be doubled, reaching 50 hotels in December.
