October 7, 2010 - IBEROSTAR Hotels & Resorts, the family owned Spanish hospitality company known for offering memorable vacations and some of the best service in the industry, continues to build its portfolio in the Mediterranean with two new openings and three hotel renovations in the region.

In Mallorca (Spain), IBEROSTAR reopened the Royal Cupido and the Club Cala Barca after extensive renovation projects. In Marbella (Spain), IBEROSTAR recently acquired the Marbella Coral Beach, which will undergo a complete remodeling project this winter, with a reopening scheduled for April 2011. In addition to opening the Diar El Andalous in Sousse (Tunisia), IBEROSTAR inaugurated the newly built Royal El Mansour in June 2010 in Mahdia (Tunisia).

“The renovation of our properties in Mallorca is a result of the 2010 international expansion plan that aims to provide customers with a premium holiday experience and benefit the local tourism industry,” said John Long, vice president of sales and marketing for IBEROSTAR. He added, “The new acquisitions in Marbella and Tunisia add to IBEROSTAR's significant existing presence in both of the regions and, alongside the refurbishment of Tunisian property, demonstrate IBEROSTAR's ongoing commitment to constantly improving its portfolio with exciting projects in popular destinations.”
