These figures come from “The State of Independent Hospitality in Southern Europe”, published by Amenitiz, the AI management system for independent hotels. It is the first report built on the real operating data of independent properties across France, Spain, Italy, and Portugal, with figures by region and department, giving hoteliers the numbers they need to price next season.

For more than 20 years, Michel Reybier Hospitality has been rethinking luxury. Far from showiness and ostentation, its approach rests on three values: excellence, authenticity and simplicity. Across its portfolio, from city addresses in Paris, Geneva and Zurich to grand hotels in the Swiss Alps, villas on the French Riviera and private homes in the Indian Ocean, each address is shaped by its destination, with quality always taking precedence over quantity and service tailored to each guest. Its idea of luxury is personal, built on a profound respect for privacy and intimacy and on the discreet, attentive presence of its teams. Each destination keeps its own identity while sharing the same values.
