About Room Mate Group

Room Mate is a visionary brand, a different way of understanding business that results from a refusal to conform, from a desire to never stop challenging and questioning ourselves. We want to show the world that a model based on humanization and happiness is more profitable.
We have transcended the concept of the customer to place the focus on peopl e; this is the only way we can understand them and win their hearts. People are always at the core of everything we do and are the departure point for each innovation. They are the motivation behind the creation of our products: Room Mate Hotels, Be Mate and X-Perience. This has been possible thanks to our commitment to the best talent, the Roomies, because we might not know everything, but we surround ourselves with the best.
