EasyHotel has announced a franchise agreement with Continuum Hospitality Group for the development of a 146-room hotel in Malaga, Spain.
The hotel will be developed and subsequently managed by Continuum Hospitality Group, backed by investor Extendam and is scheduled to open in 2019.
EasyHotel Malaga will be the Group’s second hotel now under development in Spain with the group’s hotel in Barcelona due to open in Summer 2018.
The hotel will be located centrally in Malaga, less than 200m from Malaga high-speed train station. The city welcomed more than 1.2 million tourists in 2016 with tourism arrivals having grown by 6.7% on average every year since 2009.
Guy Parsons, CEO of EasyHotel, said: “We continue to expand our franchise portfolio in key international destinations and I am delighted that we are strengthening our presence in both of these important European tourist resorts, working alongside highly experienced partners.
“These additions will take our franchise portfolio to 1,728 rooms opened with 1,857 under development and the Board looks forward to announcing further opportunities in due course.”
Anna Cohen of Extendam, added: “We are delighted to be working with EasyHotel at this exciting time in their development. The brand offers Malaga’s visitors comfortable accommodation at highly affordable prices and we look forward to working together to develop their first hotel in this popular tourist destination.”
The group has also confirmed the opening of its new franchise hotel in the Netherlands. The 87-room EasyHotel has now opened at The Hague Scheveningen Beach this week.
