HOTELS DESIGNED FOR YOU

Height_field

TUI BLUE is the global flagship hotel brand of the TUI Group having opened its first hotel in May 2016. With nearly over 100 hotels around the world and a vision for further expansion, our portfolio also includes hotels that are operated by external hotel partners according to our quality standards.

OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE EXPLAINED:

Some of the hotels in the TUI BLUE portfolio are owned, which allows us to have autonomy over operations and retain all revenue and profits. You can easily identify our owned hotels on our My TUI Hotels website by their special ‘Owned’ banner.

The rest of the units fall under other ownership models where we either collaborate with hotel chains like RIU, Karisma, Atlantica or simply have a different management agreement. This franchise model allows us to quickly expand our portfolio and is also how we hope to add over 200 hotels in the coming years.

At TUI BLUE, we believe that every moment of your holiday should be special and unforgettable. That is why all our hotels are thoughtfully designed with our customers in mind.
