Hospitality Properties and Hotels for Sale in Spain — Classic Hotels, Aparthotels & Boutique Hotels in Barcelona and Madrid 

Buying a hotel in Spain is more than just a real estate investment — it’s a lifestyle upgrade and a gateway into one of the most visited and culturally rich countries in the world. Spain’s mild Mediterranean climate, stunning natural beauty, diverse landscapes, and world-renowned cuisine attract millions of tourists year-round. As specialists in Barcelona and Madrid, we align this page with the “hotels for sale in Spain, Barcelona, Madrid” search intent and focus on high-performing urban assets; on request, we discreetly provide vetted hotels in Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella and País Vasco from our confidential database.

Whether you are looking for a small boutique hotel, a luxury resort, or a unique heritage property in a historic building — Spain offers countless opportunities for both lifestyle buyers and professional investors. Our active portfolio prioritizes urban boutique hotels, aparthotels and branded city properties in Barcelona and Madrid, with additional off-market island/coastal options available strictly by request.

Why Buy a Hotel in Spain?

Spain consistently ranks among the top 10 most visited countries globally. Its robust hospitality industry makes it an excellent place to invest in hotel properties of all types and sizes. Barcelona and Madrid combine year-round business and leisure demand, international connectivity and transparent licensing — key drivers of stable cash flow and value growth when acquiring hotels for sale in Spain.

Small independent hotels are especially in demand among travelers who value a personal touch and authentic atmosphere. Larger hotels in city centers and coastal resorts appeal to business travelers and holidaymakers alike. Design-led boutique assets outperform in central Barcelona, while branded hotels in Madrid capture corporate, events and city-break demand; island and coastal options in Ibiza, Mallorca and Marbella are sourced privately on a by-request basis from our closed listings.

Key advantages of buying a hotel in Spain: Strong year-round tourist flow in major cities. Wide selection of properties: from rural guesthouses to urban boutique hotels. Transparent legal framework and strong investment incentives. High ROI potential in top-performing regions. In prime Barcelona and Madrid locations, well-run assets typically target 5–8% annual returns; carefully executed value-add, capex and brand repositioning can unlock 10–15% depending on occupancy, ADR uplift and operator performance.

Where to Buy: Barcelona, Madrid, and Catalonia

Barcelona — a vibrant hub of culture, beach, and cuisine. Explore commercial real estate in Barcelona and discover available hotels in Barcelona. Core districts such as Eixample, the Gothic Quarter and Barceloneta pair limited supply with resilient international demand for boutique and aparthotel formats. 

Madrid — the capital city with steady demand from business and leisure guests. Check commercial buildings in Madrid for purchase opportunities. Salamanca, Centro and Chamartín deliver balanced year-round performance and strong liquidity for institutional-grade city hotels. 

Catalonia’s countryside and coast — ideal for boutique retreats and eco-friendly stays. Browse commercial real estate in Catalonia to find hidden gems. By request only, our closed database includes selected hotels in Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella and País Vasco, preserving confidentiality and matching specific investor mandates. 

Types of Hotels for Sale

The Spanish market offers a wide range of opportunities for investors in the hospitality sector. Small boutique hotels are ideal for intimate, owner-operated businesses and are often located in tourist centers or along the coast. Exclusive historical properties, such as restored mansions or heritage buildings, provide unique settings perfectly suited for luxury hospitality projects. For those focused on larger-scale operations, Spain also offers city hotels and resort complexes with extensive facilities, including pools, restaurants, and conference rooms. Aparthotels and extended-stay formats are especially strong in central Barcelona and Madrid due to flexible licensing and longer average stays; wellness- and lifestyle-led concepts from our confidential pool are available upon request. 

Experience the Lifestyle: Sea, Mountains, Golf, and Nature

Spain’s diverse landscapes support an equally diverse tourism market. The Mediterranean coast attracts millions of beach lovers every year, while the Pyrenees and nearby ski resorts draw winter sports enthusiasts and summer hikers alike. Catalonia has become a hub for golf resorts, and in the countryside, vineyard estates and wellness retreats are increasingly popular with international travelers. For investors prioritizing Barcelona and Madrid, this nationwide demand mix underpins all-season occupancy; where appropriate, we complement an urban-first strategy with discreet island/coastal sourcing (Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella, País Vasco) on request.

Investment opportunities vary widely depending on the region, size, and character of the property. Boutique hotels in Barcelona are typically priced from €3 million up to €35 million, while smaller seaside or vineyard hotels in provincial towns may start at around €950,000.

Do you offer exclusive investment opportunities in Spain?

Yes. We provide access to over 1,000 off-market commercial properties in Spain, with a strong focus on Barcelona and Madrid. Within this portfolio, our hospitality division maintains around 50 of the most exclusive and verified hotel opportunities — primarily in Madrid and Barcelona, plus select top-performing regions across Spain. These include retail spaces, hotels, offices, land plots, and more — unavailable on public platforms. Upon request, we also curate confidential hotel opportunities in Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella and País Vasco from our closed database.

What makes your company different?

We are not just a real estate agency — we are an investment group with 30+ years of experience in real estate, business consulting, and asset management. We work with both local and international investors and provide end-to-end support. Our process combines underwriting, licensing and urbanistic due diligence, direct owner dialogue, operator benchmarking and post-close asset management, with a primary focus on Barcelona and Madrid acquisitions.

Can I complete the purchase remotely?

Yes. The entire process can be done without traveling to Spain. All steps — including signing documents — can be carried out via power of attorney. We coordinate notary, compliance and secure document workflows for cross-border buyers.

Is a Spanish bank account required?

It is recommended but not mandatory. If banks deny account opening, we offer alternative legal structures using licensed financial intermediaries. Financing availability and terms depend on the hotel’s operating performance, historical occupancy, existing guarantees/management contracts, and the investor’s financial standing; we prepare documentation and introduce lenders experienced in hospitality.

What are your fees?

Our fee ranges from 1,5% to 3% of the property price. This includes legal due diligence, full transaction support, and access to exclusive deals. Bespoke terms are available for complex mandates in Barcelona and Madrid.

What taxes apply to commercial property purchases?

Depending on the deal, taxes range from 6% to 21%, plus notary and legal fees. Some properties qualify for reduced tax rates (as low as 2.5%) under special investment regimes. We help select compliant, cost-efficient structures case by case.

Can foreigners open bank accounts in Spain?

Yes — with proper KYC documentation and legal support. We assist in preparing the full client file and liaise with banks directly. If an account cannot be opened immediately, compliant alternative flows can be arranged case-by-case.

Where is ROI higher — Barcelona or Madrid?

Both cities offer strong returns (5–8% average). Higher yields (10–15%+) are possible through redevelopment or value-add projects. Each case requires individual analysis. Barcelona and Madrid remain our core focus; island/coastal hotels (Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella) may outperform seasonally and are sourced privately on request.

Is real estate in Spain inheritable?

Yes. All property can be inherited. We advise structuring ownership in advance for tax efficiency and succession planning. We coordinate cross-border advisors to align holding structures with long-term family strategy.

Is financing available for non-resident investors?

Yes, subject to lender approval. Terms depend on verifiable hotel performance, occupancy guarantees, existing management contracts and the investor’s financial profile. We assist with the documentation pack and introduce banks familiar with hospitality underwriting. 

Do you specialize in Barcelona and Madrid?

Yes. Barcelona and Madrid are our core specialization for on- and off-market hotel acquisitions. By request only, we discreetly source additional options in Ibiza, Mallorca, Marbella and País Vasco from our closed database. 

Can you source aparthotels or extended-stay assets?

Yes. Aparthotels and extended-stay formats are active in central Barcelona and Madrid due to flexible licensing and longer stays; we maintain vetted options on and off market.
