Melia Profit Climbs 24% as Luxury Room Rates Lift 2025 Earnings
Earnings Beat Driven by Premium Pricing
MADRID, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Spain's largest hotel chain Melia on Wednesday reported a 24% rise in 2025 profit as higher prices at its luxury resorts helped offset a cooling in global tourism after the post‑pandemic boom.
Net Income Exceeds LSEG Forecast
Melia's 200.2 million euros ($236 million) full-year net income beat analyst expectations for 151.23 million euros in an LSEG forecast.
RevPAR Slows but Remains Positive
Revenue per room at Melia rose at a slower pace of 5.4% last year, compared with the 11% growth registered in 2024.
Room Rates Outpace Occupancy
Room rate increases played a greater part in the company's revenue than occupancy, Melia said.
2026 Pricing Outlook for Spanish Resorts
Melia, which has focused on opening new luxury hotels, expects room rates at its Spanish resorts to rise by around 5% in 2026, in line with revenue, CEO Gabriel Escarrer said last month.
