Cosentino Family, Hyatt Partner for Hotel

MOJÁCAR, Spain — The Cosentino family is partnering with Hyatt to open a €40 million, five-star hotel here in the province of Almeria.

The future “Destination by Hyatt” hotel will be in the Macenas Mediterranean Resort complex that’s being developed by the Cosentino family on Spain’s east coast of the Mediterranean.

The agreement, announced Aug. 23, is estimated to possibly generate around 110 jobs. The hotel is set to be completed next year.

“Destination by Hyatt,” the chosen brand, is geared towards luxury holiday tourism and events, and already has establishments in Ibiza, Sardinia and Scotland; with its construction in Mojácar, Hyatt will be the first international hotel brand with a presence in Almería.

“It is a great satisfaction to have the support of the Macenas Mediterranean Resort hotel project from a brand with the international positioning of Hyatt,” said Álvaro de la Haza, director of the Cosentino family office. “This hotel will break with the traditional seasonality of the area with services and facilities for gastronomy, sports, health and leisure, both its own and those of the resort, which will respond to the demands of holiday and business tourism.”

Macenas Mediterranean Resort is a residential, tourist and sports project, promoted by the Cosentino family, which seeks to become a reference destination at a national and international level. The project, with an estimated investment of more than €200 million, is a long-term plan with commitment to sustainability, excellence, and to preserving the natural and cultural heritage of this enclave.
