Launched in London, the collection is set to reshape the landscape of bespoke luxury travel between Spain and the UK, showcasing the best of Spain’s independent hotels. Founded by Rafael Pérez Navazo, this collection represents the epitome of authentic Spanish hospitality, emphasizing cultural immersion, history, and gastronomy.
A Curated Selection of Spain’s Luxury Independent Hotels
The Authentic Heritage Collection is a carefully curated group of independently owned hotels across Spain, representing the finest in luxury accommodation. The properties are located in historically significant regions, including the Balearic Islands, Catalonia, and Andalusia, and each offers a unique experience that goes beyond the typical hotel stay.
What sets this collection apart is its dedication to authenticity. Each hotel provides personalized service and the chance for guests to engage with local culture, whether through guided historical tours, exclusive gastronomic experiences, or simply enjoying the tranquil ambiance of heritage-rich locations.
The collection focuses on small-scale, meaningful tourism, providing guests the opportunity to deeply connect with their destination. From secluded rural retreats to vibrant urban properties, the hotels promise a blend of culture, luxury, and tradition, offering travelers an immersive experience.
Events and Website Launch Celebrate the Collection’s Debut
To introduce the Authentic Heritage Collection to the UK market, a series of three events were held in London, offering UK travel professionals an exclusive look at the collection’s offerings. These events allowed attendees to learn more about the unique hotels within the collection, the bespoke services they offer, and how they can partner with Spain’s growing luxury tourism market.
In addition, the collection launched a new website, providing an easy-to-navigate platform for travel professionals and guests to discover the hotels and book stays. The website will serve as a vital resource, offering detailed information on each hotel’s location, facilities, and the unique experiences they provide.
Another highlight of the debut was the introduction of a signature stamp, which will be displayed at all hotels within the collection starting in the New Year. This stamp will distinguish the properties and signify the level of exceptional service and authentic experiences that guests can expect.
