LABRANDA Suites Costa Adeje: incorporates 21 suites to the resort that is scheduled to open in September.
Meeting Point, together with GMA, is finalizing the details for the reopening of the Hotel LABRANDA Suites Costa Adeje **** (Adeje, Tenerife). Despite all the restrictions and the effects of the pandemic, the works are in their final phase and the resort opening is scheduled for next September. In addition, the LABRANDA Costa Mogán hotel ,another of the assets acquired in December 2019 from Meeting Point by ATOM Hoteles SOCIMI, was opened this spring, after a comprehensive refurbishment.
Parallel to the reform of the LABRANDA Suites Costa Adeje Hotel, the purchase of 21 new units has been added this week. These will be completely renovated following the brand standards and project sustainability. These 21 additional suites are incorporated into the 384 units that ATOM Hoteles SOCIMI already acquired in the original operation, reaching a total of 405 keys. The property and the operator have set a deadline for closing this purchase once the refurbishment has been completed, so as not to generate inconvenience to the clients with new construction work.
This acquisition of these 21 suites is in addition to the investment commitment of 32 million euros signed in December 2019 between Meeting Point and ATOM Hoteles SOCIMI, for the comprehensive reform of the resort.
The purchase value of these new units comes to 90,000 euros approximately per key, depending on the location and views of each unit. To this, the renovation value must be added, as well as the community expenses corresponding to each of the new units so that they are integrated into the new resort.
With both refurbishments, GMA completes its policy of advancing all investment plans and reform processes during the pandemic, in addition to prioritizing execution with local companies and collaborators, which has contributed to job creation and reinvigorated economic activity in the destinations where the company’s assets are located.
LABRANDA Suites Costa Adeje is located on Avenida Brusselas, in Costa Adeje, in the renowned “golden mile” where the best hotels of the destination are located, superior four star, five star and grand luxury hotels.
For its part, ATOM Hoteles SOCIMI continues with its expansion policy in the Canary Islands, reaffirming its commitment to the value of this destination with its 365 days of good weather a year.
The hotel has undergone a comprehensive change in terms of its image, product and services. Aesthetically, the project has seen a full renovation of all interior, exterior and façade spaces. The complex is set up with two separate buildings, which make up two totally independent areas, one for families and another for adults only. Each of these areas has its corresponding swimming pool areas and independent restaurants, in addition to specific uses for each type of guest, such as Fitness & Wellness, night bar amongst others in the adults-only area; or facilities such as the Kids & Teens club or virtual games in the family area.
The resort now boasts a full new offer of facilities and services, with the integration of 11 bars and restaurants, such as the Sunset Champagne Lounge on the deck with sea views, two pool bars in the solarium for families and adults, the Bubbles Bar located in the central tropical garden, a lobby-bar at the reception as a waiting area for guests and welcome drinks, two specific themed restaurants such as the “Tapas Bar” and the Italian restaurant “La Cucina di Luigi”, and two night bars such as “The Sail Bar” for adults and “The Night Bar” with animation for families, and not forgetting the two main buffets for adults and families. For all these spaces, new concepts and services have been developed that add value to the offer of the different areas.
Regarding the leisure offer, a new pool area with a larger solarium area, a splash park and a multi-sports court are included, thus expanding the family offer, and achieving a total of five completely renovated swimming pools throughout the complex, including a new bali hai located in the adult area as a special highlight. This last relaxation area for adults also has a gym and massage rooms focused on health and well-being.
Commercially, external operators are being selected, with brands and concepts that add value and service to the management of some of these areas.
For this singular project, GMA has counted on the Alfaro Manrique Atelier Interior Design studio, with extensive experience in exemplary hotel renovations such as the Double Tree by Hilton Hotel in Barcelona or the One Shot Tabakalera House Hotel in Donosti.
