BlueBay Hotels beefs up its management team with four new corporations to strengthen its expansion plan

BlueBay Hotels, the eighth Spanish hotel chain with international presence and the eleventh biggest by number of rooms, has inducted 4 new professions to manage different areas of the company to reinforce its structure. In the next few weeks, a new operations manager will also be introduced.

In addition, the goal of the company to increase their hotel offers by almost 50%, which meant being present in new destinations and providing new beds both owned as well as managed, made it necessary for them to make this commitment clear and firm to boost the group's structure.

They are professionals with excellent backgrounds, and we are convinced that they will bring this know-how, each to their areas of expertise, in order to boost the ambitious future projects of BlueBay Hotels".
