The fruit of collaboration between the airline company and the Hoteles Catalonia group, the Vueling BCN by HC hotel opened its doors on the 15th of March in the city of Barcelona.
Initially slated for the month of February, and announced in December 2012, the first hotel born from collaboration between Hoteles Catalonia and Vueling has been open since the 15th of March. Called Vueling BCN by HC, the 4-star establishment offers 63 rooms, ideally located in the city of Barcelona.
The particularity of the new hotel is in having adopted the airline's colors, with a design fit for aviation. The restaurant therefore gives the impression of being inside an airplane cabin and each room has the name and the characteristics of one of the destinations served by Vueling. To arrive at this result, Hoteles Catalonia invested 13 million euros in the property.
Nearly 3 000 reservations have already been made during the first few weeks of operation. The hotel's general director claims to have recorded an occupancy rate of 60% over the period and hopes to quickly reach 80% TO.
The two companies expressed their wish to reinforce their partnership by developing the new hotel brand in several cities served by Vueling. To arrive there, Hoteles Catalonia could adapt some of its establishments in its brand portfolio, and reopen them in cities where the chain is not yet present.
