In 2025, the hospitality industry is set to lead a transformative shift: the rise of regenerative hotels. These properties go beyond traditional sustainability, committing to regenerate and enrich the natural and social environments where they operate. Combining luxury, innovation, and environmental responsibility, they not only deliver unique experiences but also ensure superior returns on investment (ROI). According to the Sustainable Tourism Report by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), 73% of global travelers prefer to stay in hotels with sustainable and regenerative practices.
This list is based on REGENERA LUXURY criteria:
