Four-star hotels supplied nearly half of Spain’s August 2025 rooms

Room and property shares tell different stories

The four-gold-star group represented 18.3% of open establishments and 47.6% of rooms in August. Its average was about 139.6 rooms per open establishment. The two-or-three-silver-star group averaged 15.5 rooms. The ratios use survey estimates for the same month and category. Source 1 Source 2

A high occupancy rate need not track category rank

Four-gold-star rooms had an August occupancy rate of 85.21%, compared with 75.51% for five-gold-star rooms and 81.89% for three-gold-star rooms. Occupancy divides rooms used by available room capacity over the period. The comparison is specific to August. Source 3 Source 4

Gold and silver categories are distinct

The national table keeps gold-star and silver-star classes separate, and groups the two- and three-silver-star categories. Use the detailed categories to compare classes. The gold, silver and national totals already include their component rows. Source 1 Source 4
