Sandra Polo Canudas, Asia & MEA Commercial Director, Palladium Hotel Group, was in India recently to reconnect with the travel trade here. She visited some tier 1 and tier 2 cities in the country including New Delhi, Mumbai, and Ahmedabad. Sharing her opinion on how the market has recovered for Palladium Hotel Group, she says, “We see things getting back on track and more and more clients are travelling now. I see positive feedback and we are hoping that 2023 is successful.”

New hotel openings

The group has opened two new properties. Sharing details, she says, “We have opened a really nice brand – The Royal Suites Ibiza – which is the first TRS property in Europe. This brand is already present in Latin America. It has seen huge success there and it was, therefore, decided to open one in Ibiza as well. It opened its door in May 2022. We have another new opening in Hard Rock Hotel Marbella. We also have a very special product that I think the Indian market will love, which is The Signature Level with quite a few value-adds. This is for the high-end segment, and they will love it.”

The group is already seeing clients from India. “The market started opening in April 2022. Since then, we have started getting clients from India and I have to say that we are quite happy with the results. Considering the number of arrivals from India into Spain, and the share that we used to have in 2019, I have to say that it’s not comparable but if we see the percentage increase in terms of number of arrivals and the share that we have, we exceed our performance,” she says.

Of course, a few properties are an all-time favourite with the Indian market. “One of the most popular properties with the Indian market is our Ushuaia Ibiza Beach Hotel, followed by Hard Rock Hotel Ibiza and the Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, along with the Grand Palladium White Island Resort & Spa, which is an all-inclusive family resort. But with two new openings (TRS Ibiza and Hard Rock Hotel Marbella), these two will also pick up,” she says.
