About Derby Hotels Casarrubuelos
Founded by Jordi Clos, an influential businessman in Spain, in 1968, Derby Hotel has quickly earned its way to the top as one of the country’s most prominent hotel chains to date. He runs it closely with his family, upholding a family-centered and personal approach to ensure quality hospitality services.
Clos is also an art collector and currently spearheads the Clos Archaeological Foundation, which owns the Egyptian Museum of Barcelona. His fondness for art and culture translates as he runs Derby Hotel, designing each property with a unique touch and flavor. All of the hotel chain’s properties feature different collections of both ancient and contemporary art pieces, making them small museums of their own. These hotels characterize not just the true essence of hospitality, but more importantly, bring life to art and culture for the guests to enjoy.
Currently, Derby Hotel is present in major European cities, such as Barcelona, London, Madrid, and Paris with 22 hotels. It also has several apartments under the Barcelona Apartment brand. The company is committed to recover, restore, preserve, and promote the local cultural heritage through the services it provides. In fact, most of its properties are old buildings that have been restored into luxury hotels.
