Study Notes

Introduction to Hospitality Management - Classification

  • Tourist accommodation is a group of commercial companies dedicated to providing temporary residence to people, potentially with complementary services.

  • There is no uniform hotel classification in the EU at the community or international level.

  • In Spain, tourism competencies are decentralized to autonomous communities, enabling them to create their own regulations. This applies to hotel classification, as well.

  • Hotel classification has two basic principles:

    • A standard system based on minimum requirements.
    • A system based on quality criteria of facilities and service provision.

  • Decree 75/2020, dated August 6th, dictates the current classification for tourist accommodation establishments.

Tourist Establishments

  • Hotels:

    • Hotels (H)
    • Hotel Apartments (HA)
