Resumo: The aim of this study is to see if the survival strategy of Spanish Hotels on the current crisis has left a mark in their Financial Statements and if the changes have taken place at the same time as the national economy was evolving. To do this, we have obtained a sample of 975 companies from SABI. We have made the financial ratios and applied them a paired t-test measurements. It has rejected the null hypothesis of equal means with a 95% confidence for profitability, solvency and indebtedness ratios: the crisis could have been the reason of lower profitability and debt and higher levels of liquidity, solvency and efficiency. On the other hand, with a regression we have researched the economic variables which can explain better the hotels income evolution: the foreign tourist arrivals are the key for the anti-cyclical behavior of the sector.
