Espinas Hotel Group

What Espinas Hotel Group does

Espinas Hotel Group is a privately held Iranian luxury hospitality company founded in 2002 and headquartered in Tehran, named after Mount Espinas, the highest peak in northern Iran. The group operates three hotels: the 400-room Espinas Palace in Tehran, Espinas International in Tehran, and Espinas Astara in Gilan, and has three additional hotels under development (Espinas Royal in Tehran's Velenjak district, Espinas Yazd, and Espinas Imperial in Tehran's Tavanir district), which together would substantially expand room inventory by 2030.

The company's product is a multi-outlet luxury hospitality platform spanning accommodation, F&B, wellness and spa, conference and banqueting facilities, and entertainment venues such as the Level Up Gaming Center. It has extended the brand into residential real estate through four Espinas Residences projects, creating a real-estate vertical alongside the hotel business. The group is pursuing international expansion in the Middle East and Europe through acquisitions or management contracts.

Espinas generates revenue through a combination of room revenue, F&B and banqueting sales, wellness and entertainment spending, and residential unit sales, serving a mix of domestic luxury leisure travelers, business travelers, event clients, and local consumers using its dining, spa, and gaming outlets. Distribution is handled through its own website, third-party booking systems, WhatsApp, and direct sales for events and residences.
