Palladium Hotel Group is joining forces with Ibiza Songs – a group of experts in creating brand identity through music – to personalise the musical style of its hotels.

Following analysis of the audience and other characteristics of the brand, playlists comprising different themes and melodies are being curated for each hotel’s different spaces, thus placing music as a fundamental element of sensory marketing.

This new collaboration between Palladium Hotel Group and Ibiza Songs will lead to the creation of unique and exclusive environments at the company's hotels, with playlists customised according to the customer profile of each hotel brand. The music will be manually updated regularly, removing the need for robot algorithms, and the playlists will also include relevant service information for the guests of each hotel.

The playlists will be created using a personalised branding study and the advice of the technical experts in music and will complete the identity of each brand with the latest in sensory marketing.

Costa Mujeres already has a soundtrack

Ibiza Songs music marketing is already being implemented in some of the company's hotels. Personalised playlists are being played in some thirty spaces around the properties in Costa Mujeres, Mexico. Over the next few months, it will also be rolled out at the hotels belonging to the Only YOU Hotels, BLESS Collection Hotels, Grand Palladium Hotels & Resorts and TRS Hotels brands.

The initiative reflects Palladium Hotel Group’s on-going commitment to create unique experiences that turn its customers into fans and is another step in ensuring excellence and customer experience of the highest quality in the group’s hotels.

Ibiza, home of music

Music has always been a very present element in all the Palladium Hotel Group hotels. The hotel group, of Ibizan origin, has an important link with the island's characteristic musical environment.

Since the 70s, Ibiza has been the cradle of electronic music and a meeting point for the best DJs and professionals in the sector. The Palladium Hotel Group hotels are home to some of the best clubs, beach clubs and entertainment areas on the island, and now, thanks to the collaboration with Ibiza Songs, all the spaces in the group's properties will enhance their musical environment with playlists customised according to the type of hotel, its audience, the time of day and other elements to ensure a unique and unforgettable sensory experience.
