The Lopesan Hotel Group, based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria,, a major multidisciplinary Spanish company in hospitality, tourism and construction with a significant presence in the Canary Islands and internationally is redefining luxury through major, high - investment and with international expansions in Madrid, Spain and Punta Cana, the Dominican Republic, aiming for completion by 2026.
At the 2026 FITUR International Tourism Fair which took place in Madrid, the group unveiled an ambitious roadmap that signals a historic turning point for the company with the renovation of the Hotel Miguel Ángel in Madrid, marking a a high - profile entry into the urban ultra - luxury market with the upcoming reopening of this emblematic establishment situated in a privileged location near Madrid’s financial district and the in the exclusive Salamanca nedighbourhood, one of the most elegant areas in the Spanish capital.
To lead this flagship project, the Lopesan Hotel Group has appointed Nayra González as the new General Manager, recognized by Forbes Women as a leading figure in the hospitality industry, returns to the iconic hotel to oversee its transformation into a premier destination for luxury travellers in the Spain’s capital and largest city.
In the Caribbean the group is currently developing a €320 million mega - resort with a man - made cenote, a revolutionary vacation ecosystem in the Dominican Republic, concretely at Playa Bávaro, a famed area of beach resorts in Punta Cana, where the Caribbean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean on the island’s east coast, moving away from traditional Caribbean hospitality models.
This massive project, set top open between April and May 2026, will introduce over 1.000 new rooms across three specialized resorts:
• The premium Caoba Lagoon.
• The adults – only Serenity Bay.
• The family – oriented Splash Cove Resort.
A key differentiator for Lopesan Hotel Group is its handcrafted approach to development. CEO José Alba emphasized that the company avoids the standardized models of large publicity traded chains, opting instead for a bespoke design process where the ownership is directly involved in every detail, from the initial architectural concept to the final interior finishes.
This philosophy is reflected in the new Punta Cana complex, which features avant - garde landscaping such as an artificial cenote and pools that mimic the local Dominican topography and identity.
Sustainability remains at the core of the company’s 2026 agenda. The Lopesan Hotel Group officially joined the Alliance for Regenerative Tourism of the Canary Islands, a high - level partnership with the regional government aimed at social and environmental restoration.
This aligns with the group’s broader “Lopesan for Good” initiative, which targets total decarbonization by 2030 and utilizes renewable energy sources that already produce more power than its Gran Canaria hotels consume.
Innovation is also driving the guest experience, with the company integrating Lopesan Artificial Intelligence (LIA) to personalize travel and optimize operations. Noteworthy successes include the Buffet Waste programme, which has already slashed food waste by 22%.
By combining high - tech efficiency with a commitment to regenerative tourism and luxury craftmanship the Lopesan Hotel Group is positioning itself, as a leading, forward - thinking player in both the international resort and urban hospitality sectors.
