Barceló Hotel Group Expands Portfolio

Barceló Hotel Group is one of the world’s leading global hospitality brands, with more than 100 hotels and resorts worldwide – but more than 85 years after it was established, Barceló is still growing and innovating. In addition to the group’s original brand, Barceló Hotels & Resorts, three new distinctive brands have been introduced to the Barceló Hotel Group collection: Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts; Occidental Hotels & Resorts; and Allegro Hotels. This new multibrand structure is designed with today’s traveler in mind, making it easy for guests to select the type of resort experience they want with an appropriate price point to match, all while visiting some of the world’s most desirable destinations. What should travelers expect from Barceló Hotel Group’s distinctive brands? Here’s a preview:

Perfecting the art of fine moments, Royal Hideaway Luxury Hotels & Resorts features Barceló Hotel Group’s most elite and exclusive luxury resorts. Each Royal Hideaway Resort offers a luxury retreat and is designed to feel like a fully staffed private vacation home, rather than a typical resort. The brand’s flagship property is Royal Hideaway Playacar, a AAA Four-Diamond resort and member of The Leading Hotels of the World, featuring two-story villas with spacious and elegant rooms surrounded by beautifully manicured gardens. www.barcelo.com/PlayacarHideaway.      

Delivering distinctive experiences that anticipate the desires of all guests, Barceló Hotels & Resorts is a renowned upscale resort brand featuring a blend of multi-resort, all-inclusive complexes and stylish urban-centric properties. Specializing in imaginative and surprising moments, the brand’s affordable, upscale resorts include the new flagship hotel Barceló Emperatriz, which opened in Madrid in January 2016; the brand’s Latin American flagship hotels are Barceló Maya Grand Resort in Mexico and Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort in Dominican Republic. www.barcelo.com.  

Featuring a range of hotels and resorts around the world – including locations in Mexico, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Spain, and Prague – Occidental Hotels & Resorts is the perfect option for families, groups of friends and couples. As part of the Barceló Hotel Group, the brand focuses on active adventures exclusive to each resort location, such as diving and cultural immersion, with a portfolio of properties in extraordinary locations, equipped with a comprehensive range of amenities. www.occidentalhotels.com.      

Allegro Resorts, part of the Barceló Hotel Group, offers personalized vacation experiences, whether you are traveling with family, a group of friends or simply enjoying time together as a couple. Providing a dynamic atmosphere of energy and freedom in gorgeous natural settings, Allegro guests relish in a wide range of entertaining and fun activities, land and non-motorized water sports, night time entertainment or just relax and enjoy the beach. www.occidentalhotels.com/brands/allegro
