Sol Melia to open third hotel in Colombia
Sol Meliá, the leading hotel company in Spain and Latin America, has reached an agreement to add a new franchised hotel in Colombia to its portfolio to be operated under the urban Tryp brand.
Tryp Medellín, located in the city of Medellín, is a four-star hotel perfectly adapted to the design standards of the Tryp brand and providing 140 rooms over 14 floors, a gym, car park and space for meetings and events measuring over 300 square metres.
The hotel is scheduled to open in July and is located opposite the site of the 2010 Ibero-American Games to be hosted by Medellín, the second largest city in the country with three million inhabitants.
These latest additions help Sol Meliá reaffirm its commitment and positioning in Latin America, and particularly in Colombia, a growing travel destination. Tryp Medellín becomes the third hotel for the company in Colombia, after the announcement last December of the incorporation of the Meliá Barranquilla and Meliá Cartagena de Indias. These two five-star hotels will be operated under management agreements and provide more than 500 rooms when they open in 2012.
TRYP LAUNCHES TWO NEW PROGRAMMES FOR EVENTS IN ITS CITY HOTELS
The city hotel brand, TRYP, has just launched its new ‘Be Successful’ programme, for the successful organisation of any type of business event with four proposals that can be adapted to the different needs of each client: BE 20, BE 40, BE 100 and BE MORE.
The first is designed for small meetings or private lunches in a room equipped with a board meeting table. The second offer is ideal for training courses or participative sessions, with a U shaped set-up or classroom set-up for better interaction amongst the participants. BE 100 has a capacity for a hundred people and suggests multi-functional rooms for presentations, exams, courses for more people or banquets. And the BE MORE programme is designed for large events for more than 100 guests.
Furthermore, the TRYP Meetings packages offer a solution to all needs: ‘TRYP Meetings Training’, from EUR49, includes the meeting room with any set-up, two coffee breaks, work lunch and internet connection in the room, while the ‘TRYP Meetings: Stay to Sleep’ package also includes accommodation from only EUR55 more.
With more than 50 years of experience in the city hotel industry, TRYP offers flexibility, involvement, trust, knowledge, identification and a good atmosphere, helping its clients to strengthen ties with its employees and promote the image of its brand.
‘Be Happy’
TRYP has also designed its ‘Be Happy’ programme for private clients who wish to hold any type of party or special social event in its hotels’ facilities. This service offers made-to-measure advice and organisation with original menus, cocktails, live performances and many more advantages.
The concept is based on the chorus of the famous pop song of the 1980s: if you want to organise a unique and very special event, ‘don’t worry, be happy’. The hotel will take care of everything so that the client and their guests can enjoy themselves to the full.
Furthermore, all sorts of details have been programmed for wedding banquets to make the day unforgettable. Clients will be given a totally free honeymoon in any Sol Meliá hotel valid for six months after the celebration of the wedding itself.
