VP crea su marca Sognio para un producto de “lujo asequible” en 4 estrellas

📈 Javier Pérez, director general of VP Hoteles, admitted a miscalculation during the pandemic, expecting larger financial losses in 2021 than occurred. Out of a €13 million loan, €3.5 million remained, which funded renovations of VP Madroño and VP Metropolitano. VP Hoteles maintains lower leverages than the industry average. The new VP Sognio brand emerged last year, focusing on luxurious yet affordable hospitality, aiming for an average cost around €180 per night. Welcoming Luxury merges welcoming customer service with affordable luxury. VP Hoteles' transformation includes the VP Metropolitano, introducing art and design elements, and catering to local Madrid culture. The VP Madroño is undergoing renovations this summer, VP Recoletos requires a significant update planned for the next year, and their Tres Cantos hotel's adaptation to Sognio is being considered. Innovations in technology and staff training, especially in artificial intelligence, underpin the brand's evolution. The company's revenue target for 2026 is €45 million, with a current debt of €60 million, repayable over 12 years at €6 million annually.
