Axel Hotels is an international hotel chain created for the LGBTQIA+ community and welcoming to everyone. Founded in 2003, the brand presents its hotels as safe, inclusive places where guests can be themselves and connect with others. Its portfolio includes urban hotels and beach properties across Spain, Germany, Greece, and other destinations. Locations include Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid, Bilbao, San Sebastián, Berlin, Ibiza, Maspalomas, Mykonos, and Crete, with a mix of city stays, seaside settings, rooftop pools, gardens, and suites with private pools at selected properties.

Each hotel has its own character, from Barcelona’s modernist setting in the Queerxample to a mansion in Madrid’s Barrio de las Letras and a beachfront property in Ibiza. Guests can book directly through the official website and join the Axel and You loyalty program for member discounts and points. Direct-booking benefits may include free cancellation until 18:00 on arrival day, early check-in, late check-out, and a 24-hour grace period, subject to stated exceptions, availability, and booking conditions.
