Located near the iconic tourist sites of the region, the 3-star, 70-room hotel will undergo refurbishment and compliance works to meet the hotel needs of both leisure and business clientele. With this hotel, EXTENDAM confirms its interest in Spain and now has a European portfolio of 340 establishments.
With their degree in spatial design, designers Koen Meerkerk and Hugo de Boon use their talents to serve a cause close to their hearts by launching Fruitleather Rotterdam, an initiative that offers an innovative solution to food waste. Transforming mango fibers into vegan leather, the company offers an ecological alternative to the traditional leather industry.
Raising awareness about food waste, Fruitleather Rotterdam targets the 45% of fruits destined for consumption that are discarded annually. At the same time, the leather industry, generating 10% of all global carbon emissions, faces the issues of animal slaughter and material cleaning processes.
Fruitleather Rotterdam’s innovative approach considers fruit waste as a valuable raw material, resulting in a versatile material used in the production of shoes, fashion accessories, furnishings, and more.
🍃 Let’s fight food waste and give a second life to forgotten mangoes!
Thank you for this beautiful initiative!
While 2022 defied expectations to set new records and establish itself among the benchmark years for the hotel industry, 2023 did not disappoint by making the sector’s good performances seem normal.

The Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, the UEFA Cup in Germany, or the America’s Cup in Valencia herald promising prospects and reveal great opportunities for the European hotel industry in a context of inflation reduction and probable interest rate cuts. After two years of outperformance, the previously very high RevPARs are expected to start converging towards the inflation level.
