ANTONIO PÉREZ NAVARRO
Hospes Hotels and Moments founding CEO Antonio Pérez Navarro’s first job in hospitality was as finance director of the NH Hotels group, a major Spanish chain. He then helped found AC Hotels before creating Hospes in 2000. His vision, and Hospes’s combination of past splendour and present-day understated glamour, has redefined modern Spanish hospitality.

The principal ingredient of any Hospes project is authenticity,” says Hospes Hotels and Moments founding CEO Antonio Pérez Navarro. “Historic palaces and other buildings offer a connection to the past.” The Hospes vision of modifying often-palatial historical buildings into wonderfully cutting-edge and ultra- comfortable contemporary interiors began in Spain, but is now spreading to other parts of Europe and beyond. It’s a vision that includes more than just pretty aesthetics. It’s also about a guest’s comfort, on both physical and mental levels: “Restful sleep is the factory of your energy for tomorrow, but it’s also the factory of your dreams for the future,” says Navarro.
