Premium Suite Hotels is a hotel chain with extensive experience in hotel management, innovation, sustainability, and customer service.
The history of the Premium Suite Hotels Group began more than 30 years ago, in 1988, when a Barcelona-based family dedicated to wooden construction decided to innovate by building an aparthotel in a building located very close to Plaza Bonanova, on Bisbe Sivilla Street. The hotel rooms were designed as studio-style units with kitchens, allowing guests to enjoy all the services of a hotel while maintaining the independence of being able to cook and feel at home. It was an establishment with a strong customer-oriented philosophy. Today, Barcelona offers a wide range of apartments, but at that time this concept was a novelty. The Aparthotel Bonanova, now called Bonanova Suite, has become one of the city’s “classic” establishments.
In 1996, we decided to take the next step and open a second establishment, the Acacia Suite hotel. Acacia Suite is a 4-star hotel located next to Hospital Clínic in Barcelona, in the Eixample district, and it shares the same customer-focused philosophy as its predecessor.
A few years later, in 2011, the group took its third step with the opening of Ako Suite, a 4-star boutique hotel located just a few meters from Rambla Catalunya, known for its pleasant outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace situated on the rooftop.
At the time of opening AKO SUITE, we realized it was the right moment to create a hotel chain with the aim of combining efforts, strategies, and promoting the three establishments together, both commercially and online. This is how Premium Suite Hotels was born.
Finally, in 2013, Premium Suite Hotels sought a new innovative approach and built its fourth establishment in Santa Coloma de Gramenet, an area with very few hotels but great potential. Abarco Apartments are strategically located just 25 minutes by metro from Plaza Catalunya and offer easy access to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, where the Formula 1 and MotoGP Grand Prix events take place. It is also an ideal location for business travelers working in the industrial areas north of Barcelona, including Vallès Occidental and Vallès Oriental. Additionally, it is a perfect option for tourists visiting Barcelona on a budget.
Continuing its commitment to innovation and adaptation to new market trends, in 2023 the group expanded its offering with the opening of Calm Apartments, a new establishment designed to provide a modern, comfortable, and flexible experience, while maintaining the independence and customer-focused approach that define Premium Suite Hotels.
As an interesting note, the names of the hotels AKO, ACACIA, and ABARCO are inspired by trees, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and the presence of wood in all our accommodations.
