Vueling enters the hotel business: first Hoteles Vueling by HC in February

A few days after the visit of its Chairman Josep Piqué to Paris, Vueling has announced a new stage in its development: the launch of a new hotel chain, Hoteles Vueling by HC, in partnership with Hoteles Catalonia.

The boundaries between the different sectors of business travel are sometimes permeable. Vueling is proving this at the end of 2012, with the announcement of a new project which is due to come to fruition in early 2013: next February, the first Hoteles Vueling by HC hotel is due to open in Barcelona, launched jointly by the airline and Spanish hotelier Hoteles Catalonia. The four-star hotel, which will be decorated in an airline-inspired style, will have a total of 64 rooms, and will mark the start of a new area of development for Vueling, which is already looking at other destinations in the Iberian market, including Madrid.
