Based on reporting byTravel & Tour World(original report, opens in a new tab)
Spain's Barceló Hotel Group reported a record 2025 — net profit of about €313 million on revenue up 4%, and 33 hotels opened in the year — and has earmarked roughly US$404 million for expansion in 2026. Among its moves is a first entry into Malaysia, adding the country to an Asia footprint that already spans seven markets. When a global operator with that track record opens its first Malaysian property, it is underwriting the market with its own balance sheet.
