easyHotel, the low carbon affordable hotel chain, is delighted to announce that it has acquired a site to undertake the construction and development of a new hotel in the vibrant city of Alicante, Spain. This milestone aligns with easyHotel’s robust growth strategy across Europe, with an emphasis on new hotels in France and Spain, building upon the groups leading brand awareness in travel.
Located on Avenida de Alcoy, adjacent to the Parc del Tossal, the hotel will be built just a 5-minute walk from the city centre and a 9-minute public transportation ride to the main railway station, providing an easy journey to Alicante Airport.
At 2,900 square meters, the hotel will feature 97 new low carbon rooms, carefully developed by easyHotel to fuse sustainable construction methods and materials with guest comfort. Independent research has verified that the rooms will emit 21% less CO2 over a 50-year hotel lifecycle vs the competition.
In keeping with easyHotel’s commitment to sustainability, the property will be constructed using recyclable and sustainable materials when possible, optimising space and surface area with smart room design to minimise building materials and reduce the carbon footprint. It is these factors that will see the building labelled as ‘Very Good’ by BREEAM for sustainability.
This turnkey project has been achieved with the support of Xpandia Projects, a well-established developer in the region, who helped in identifying and securing the site, and demonstrates easyHotel’s desire to partner with developers in key markets, as the company looks to execute its ambitious growth plans. It is expected to open in 2026 and will provide c.15 direct and indirect jobs.
With a portfolio now comprising 47 hotels across Europe, easyHotel has firmly established its presence in Spain, with Malaga, Madrid, and Barcelona already operational, and additional hotels in Barcelona and Valencia expected to open in 2025. The low-cost brand will also open a fourth hotel in Zurich and its first hotel in Marseille later this year.
