Success story: Líbere Hospitality Group and its expansion as a leader in alternative accommodations in Spain and Portugal.

Líbere Hospitality Group (LHG), an alternative accommodation operator founded in 2019, faced the challenge of consolidating itself as a benchmark in a highly competitive market dominated by traditional models. With a clear vision of delivering the best guest experience and maximizing profitability for owners, LHG bet on an operating model focused on technology and personalization.

In five years, LHG has consolidated a steadily growing portfolio that includes 1,800 units, distributed between Spain, Portugal, Greece, and now also in strategic markets such as London and Milan. The company currently operates 546 units located in premium areas in 12 cities on the Iberian Peninsula, consolidating its position as a key player in the alternative accommodation sector.

To meet its expansion and visibility objectives in the Iberian Peninsula, LHG entrusted Incógnito to design a comprehensive communication plan focused on positioning Líbere Hospitality Group as a disruptive alternative in the lodging sector. The company has worked to strengthen its positioning in the sector, consolidate its position as a benchmark in alternative accommodations and expand its reach into new strategic markets.

The challenge

LHG needed to differentiate itself in a market characterized by traditional paradigms, highlighting its value proposition focused on innovation, differentiated design and strategic locations. Moreover, in a context of post-pandemic tourism recovery, it was essential to gain notoriety and credibility as a key player in the European market, attracting both guests and investors interested in maximizing the profitability of its assets.

These challenges required a communication strategy that highlighted its disruptive model and its ability to generate value for guests, owners and investors.
