Europe’s leading economy segment hotel brand, ibis budget, under the ACCOR Group, is expanding with a new establishment in Córdoba. This announcement comes after a franchise agreement for the development of the ibis budget Córdoba was signed with key partners Laurent Gauze and Jean Charles Delgado, through DG INVEST HOSPITALITY (part of the ENGAGE MANAGEMENT HOSPITALITY Group) in partnership with EXTENDAM.
Promoted and managed by Cordoban Pedro Albuger, the project aims to enhance the hotel, residential, and tertiary sectors both nationally and internationally.
The new establishment will be located between Avenida Campo de la Verdad and Acera de Granada Street in Córdoba. Scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2027, it will be the first Ibis budget in the city, marking Accor’s entry into this historic locale. The hotel will feature 96 modern and functional rooms with the latest designs from the brand, including the Sweet Bed by Ibis Budget, a rooftop pool, 24-hour refreshments, free Wi-Fi, and a renowned buffet breakfast.
Designed for “Smart Explorers,” travelers who seek comfort without compromising on efficiency and savings, ibis budget Córdoba promises a restful experience with all essential services to make the most of the city.
“We are thrilled to bring the Ibis budget brand to Córdoba, a destination rich in cultural offerings and a growing market. This project underscores our commitment to the Economy segment and its development in Andalusia and across Spain’s capitals, providing accessible and quality options for today’s travelers,” said Coré Martin, VP of Development Spain & Portugal. “Collaborating with the DG INVEST HOSPITALITY group is a privilege, given their deep knowledge of the segment and expertise in hotel development and management, ensuring quality and customer satisfaction,” added Coré Martin.
Strategically located just 1 km from Córdoba’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic centre and near landmarks like the Mosque-Cathedral and the Roman Bridge, the Ibis Budget will be easily accessible, making it an attractive option for both leisure and business travellers.
Córdoba continues to enhance its connectivity in 2025 with several airlines operating regular flights to and from the city, including direct flights between Córdoba and Barcelona by Vueling, starting in September 2025, providing access to a wide range of international destinations.
This project will be carried out with ENGAGE MANAGEMENT HOSPITALITY, an operator specializing in the development and management of hotel projects in Spain, Portugal, and France.
