The hotel group received a Special Mention from the organisation for placing within Spain’s top ten across all three Innovation Indices: Commercial, Social, and Digital. Its positive impact on society and the environment, along with the Group’s creativity, were the factors most valued by consumers.

The analysis drew from more than 2,500 surveys covering 131 companies across 21 different sectors, collectively representing over 70% of household consumption in Spain.

Meliá received a Special Mention in recognition of its strong performance across all three indices—Commercial, Social, and Digital—highlighting in particular its scores in Social Innovation, acknowledging the company's contribution to society and the environment and its innovative offering in this area.

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2026
Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.
Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.
We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.
Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."
While membership spots for 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
