Spain Sets 2025 Record for Hotel Stays as INE Data Expose Uneven Regional Gains

INE figures highlight wide gaps in regional profitability and capacity.

Overview

  • Spain reached 366.7 million hotel overnight stays in 2025, up 1% year over year, with an average occupancy of 61.6% and national ADR and RevPAR of €127.7 and €89.7.
  • The Region of Murcia posted all‑time highs with 1,539,901 travellers and 3,550,411 overnight stays for 2025, despite a 0.1% dip in December pernoctaciones as international visitors surged.
  • Galicia recorded about 5.3 million tourists and nearly 10 million stays but remained among the least profitable, with a €38 RevPAR and shorter average stays than the national norm.
  • Córdoba set a December record for hotel capacity at 7,785 places after a major hotel opening, even as the number of establishments declined and employment in the sector rose.
  • City data underscored divergence within Galicia, as Santiago de Compostela saw fewer December travellers and a 5.2% drop in overnight stays while A Coruña registered strong gains.
