Brookfield wins HAMA Europe Asset Management Achievement Award for its Moxy Barcelona project.
Brookfield acquired the 414-key Expo Hotel Barcelona in September 2021 as part of the Selenta portfolio. After a €28 million refurbishment, the hotel re-branded in October 2024 as part of Marriott International’s Moxy brand. The capex program included a full renovation of all guestrooms, public areas, F&B outlets, MICE facilities, and pool as well as the creation of a new rooftop restaurant, operated by Confiteria Group.
The asset valuation has increased during Brookfield’s ownership, driven by a refurbishment project, the introduction of the Moxy brand, building an institutionalised asset management platform with a resultant performance uplift.
Current Chair of the Awards Committee, Harriet Durbin said “The HAMA Europe Award was established to recognise the key role played by hotel asset management in sustainably growing asset value and driving underlying investment returns. Brookfield’s Moxy Barcelona project is an excellent example of asset managers taking a holistic approach to value creation with their asset management plan, then working diligently to fully implement their strategies to achieve exceptional results”.
The award celebrates its’ tenth anniversary this year and is co-sponsored by Questex Hospitality and HotStats. The award was presented at the IHIF EMEA conference in Berlin during HAMA Europe’s breakout session on Tuesday 24 March 2026.
Prior winners of this award include Pygmalion Capital, Iconic Luxury Hotels, London & Regional Properties, Pyramid Hotel Group, Global Holdings, Starwood Capital, Amaris Hospitality, The Social Hub and Henderson Park & EQ Hotels, with investments that have spanned from single assets to large portfolios, collectively demonstrating the breadth of the hotel asset management discipline.
