NH ("Navarra Hotels", named after the region in Spain) was founded in 1978 by Antonio Catalan. Throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, it made a series of acquisitions (Jolly in Italy, Krasnapolsky in the Netherlands, Astron in Germany) which increased its size to close to 400 hotels.
The company was severely affected by the economic crisis and changed top management often: Gabriele Burgio (now Alpitour), Mariano Pérez Claver (ex Bankia) and Federico González Tejera (now Carlson). The latter managed to steer the company throughout a strategic plan.
