In the implementation of its expansion plan with new urban and seafront hotels, the CEOSA Confortel Hotel chain has recently taken two new steps, specifically in Barcelona and Seville. It has acquired the Bel Art in Barcelona, a superior 4-star hotel which is their third establishment in the Catalan capital and the fourth in this region. “We want to have a presence in the main Spanish capitals and as such, of the four projects we had for Barcelona, this is already the third to become a reality”, the chain’s general manager, José Ángel Preciados, explains to our magazine.
The Bel Art is in the heart of the Eixample district of Barcelona, in the centre of a modernist triangle formed by Antonio Gaudí’s Sagrada Familia, the Güell Park and the Sant Pau Hospital, and close to the Ramblas. This makes it easily accessible using public transport, as it is located barely 2.5 kilometres from both the Plaza Cataluña and the beach area. It is linked to the airport and the main motorways via the ring roads and the Rovira tunnel, and has a bus stop just 100 metres away and an underground station no more than 200 metres away.
It has three rooms for conventions and banquets, a snack bar, the Bel Art restaurant and the building contains a car park with 21 spaces. The hotel does not allow pets in rooms with the sole exception of guide dogs for the blind.
Pioneer in Seville
Where Seville is concerned, following the alterations carried out over the summer, the opening of the city’s first Confortel Hotel is scheduled for early September, making it the ONCE chain’s fourth establishment in Andalusia. The Confortel Puerta de Triana also has an excellent location, in the historic and commercial centre of the city, just 10 minutes’ walk from the Giralda, from the Plaza de la Maestranza, the Triana district and the Cartuja, and barely five minutes from the river Guadalquivir and the Santa Cruz district.
It has 68 double rooms, four of which have been perfectly adapted for disabled people, a buffet restaurant, coffee area, television and a room for meetings and events. Furthermore, it offers free business class services such as a safe, Wifi access, minibar, à la carte pillows, cloakroom and ticket purchasing for shows.
The transformation that it has undergone provided the opportunity to integrate it in the lines and values of the corporate image and identity that Confortel, under the commercial and promotional motto “you matter to us”, has been applying to all of its establishments, as has been seen with the alterations at the Islantilla, Suites Madrid, and the hotels in Badajoz, Fuengirola, Menorca, etc.
