Barcelo to Operate Two New Hotels in Costa
Rica
The Spanish chain Barcelo Hotels & Resorts
said Tuesday that it has signed contracts to
operate two five-star hotels on Costa Rica’s
Pacific coast, which will require an
investment of 301.5 million euros (some
$400.9 million).
The first establishment, the Barcelo Jaco
Beach, is scheduled to open in 2010 after a
remodeling costing an estimated 49 million
euros ($65 million).
The hotel will have 150 rooms.
The second establishment, the Barcelo Playa
Azul, will be opened in 2011.
The investment in that 248-room hotel is
estimated at 178 million euros ($236
million).
With these new establishments, Barcelo
Hotels & Resorts will have a total of six
hotels in Costa Rica: Barcelo San Jose
Palacio, Barcelo Palma Real, Barcelo Tambor
Beach, Barcelo Langosta, Barcelo Jaco Beach
and Barcelo Playa Azul, with a total of
1,319 rooms.
Barcelo currently has 187 hotels in 16
countries. EFE |
