The Rocco Forte Collection British chain has expansion plans, and between European cities that want to go to Madrid and Barcelona are included. Thus, the company now has 13 distinguished hotels and resorts come into the country, as confirmed by its CEO, Richard Powers, who was visiting Spain.

Powers noted that because of current economic conditions have begun to receive proposals for buildings in the capital to "prices that have begun to be reasonable," but finally "have not conceded to the concept of the chain."

Rocco Forte Collection has the characteristic of opening their shops in buildings that are centrally located but historical, and, therefore, already have become an emblem of the city.

Meanwhile, sales director for Spain, Portugal and Latin America, Amparo Gonzalez, said to have achieved a hotel in Spain would be "fantastic" as it also facilitated the task of making known the chain.
