The contract was published last Wednesday in the Official State Gazette, for a total of 230,947.94 euros.
The Mallorcan chain will usually provide these services at the Royal Palace of El Pardo, although occasionally they may be provided at another Royal Site to be determined, according to the hotel company in a statement. The company will form the team in charge of providing these services with staff from its Madrid hotels Gran Meliá Fénix and Gran Meliá Palacio de los Duques.
According to the chain, both hotels, members of the Leading Hotels of the World seal, stand out “for their avant-garde expression of traditional luxury and their carefully selected gastronomic offer, especially focused on projecting the values and differential products of Spanish cuisine”.
