December 20, 2004.  Montvale, New Jersey.  Dolce Sitges, the new Dolce International Conference & Resort Destination near Barcelona, Spain, was officially opened in November, 2004.   The grand opening event brought together customers from Spain, Europe and the US, VIPs, CEOs of companies, and Spanish dignitaries for the event.

Commented Andy Dolce, CEO and founder of Dolce International, "Dolce Sitges is our first property in Spain and also the first ground-up development we've done in some time.   This grand opening culminates a two-year construction period to create this magnificent conference resort, and we are excited to open the doors on schedule for our guests."

Jose Francisco Jimenez, the resort's general manager, said, "Dolce Sitges is the only property of this kind in all of Spain that offers the Dolce standards in the meeting experience while providing five-star quality throughout the entire guest's stay in the guest rooms, dining areas, fitness, and spa.  Now that Dolce Sitges is open, we can offer our companies a meeting experience unlike any they have seen in Spain."
