The first Barcelo Hotel opens in Hungary

The 4-star Barcelo Budapest will open next month and is located right in the heart of the city. It’s in Pest, the east side of the Danube, in the Terezvaros district VI which is the historic centre of the city and surrounded by museums, art galleries and restaurants. Most of the major sights are within 15 minutes walk from the hotel. The transfer from the airport takes about half an hour.

The hotel will have 179 bedrooms and a stylish roof terrace which is perfect for drinks receptions. There are three meeting rooms with a maximum capacity for 110 people. The meeting rooms all have natural daylight and the outdoor terraces can also be used for events.

Much of Budapest is an UNESCO World Heritage and many of the historic buildings can be used for events, such as the Castle in Buda, overlooking the city or the Art Nouveau Gellert Spa baths. The main street is Andrassy Avenue, home to the State Opera House. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Hall of Art can both hold dinners and conferences, and these are located in Heroes’ Square, at the end of Andrassy Avenue, which is one of the most visited sights in Budapest.

Barcelo will open a new hotel in Mexico in 2020

The Barcelo Maya Riviera and Arena is planned to open in Q1 2020 and will be a completely new construction within the existing Barcelo Maya Beach Resort. It will be a 5* hotel and has been built on existing beach space on the west hand side of the resort’s land.

The new construction has 850 luxury suites and 269,000ft of meeting space. The largest meeting room will accommodate over 7,000 people in theatre-style with flexible space, which makes it one of the largest meeting spaces in the America’s. In addition, there will be more meeting rooms, with flexible walls that can be divided in to a maximum of 28 smaller rooms.

The Maya Riviera will have three restaurants and its own beach and swimming pools.

This new property will be in addition to the Barcelo Maya Beach’s existing properties and convention centre, adding to the choice of hotels on the same site.
