TERRASSA/BARCELONA, Spain & MCLEAN, Va. -
April 17, 2013 --Hilton Worldwide continues its expansion in
Spain with the arrival of
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Center La
Mola, a hotel taking its name from one of the highest peaks in the
nearby Catalan Pre Coastal mountain range. Having recently opened
Spain’s first DoubleTree by Hilton in Emporda and first Hilton Garden
Inn in Sevilla, Hilton Worldwide now has eight properties trading
across Spain.
With a modern design inspired by the natural beauty of its setting,
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Center La Mola (formerly La
Mola Hotel & Conference Centre) features 186 guestrooms and suites,
an 800 square metre spa, plus 4,500 sqm of meetings and events space
which recently underwent a significant renovation. With its close
proximity to the prestigious Real Club de Golf El Prat golf course,
less than 30 miles from Spain’s second busiest airport, Barcelona El
Prat, and only 17 miles from Barcelona, the hotel is ideal for both
business and leisure travellers.
Simon Vincent, president, EMEA, Hilton Worldwide, said, “Our continued
Spanish expansion is seeing us open some exceptional properties in
superb locations. While this beautifully designed hotel benefits from
excellent meeting and events facilities, its picturesque mountain
setting is also within easy reach of a major international airport and
the city of Barcelona itself.”
Guests looking for relaxation will be able to utilise the hotel’s
Sensations Spa and Wellness Centre, which features a 24-hour fitness
center, several treatment rooms, a heated indoor pool, a chromotherapy
thermal circuit, a steam room, a sauna and a seasonal outdoor swimming
pool. For those interested in soaking up the local culture, the hotel’s
L’Obac restaurant serves exciting culinary delights using fresh, native
produce including vegetables from its own garden. The outdoor terrace
bar, Sòfora Gastrobar, is also an ideal option for relaxing and
socializing in the Catalan sunshine.
The hotel’s 26 meeting rooms boast a combined capacity of 250 people,
including 14 multi-function meeting rooms, two 54-seat auditoriums and
a specialist video conference room. With the latest state-of-the-art
equipment, the hotel is one of only three Spanish members of the
International
Association of Conference Centers (IACC).
Guests can also book weddings or events in the adjoining 17th century
manor house Mas Bonvilar, complete with a small chapel, which provides
a charming venue to exchange nuptials and for other private functions.
John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, said, “Having
introduced the DoubleTree by Hilton brand to Spain only a matter of
months ago with
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Emporda, we
are especially pleased to celebrate our second hotel opening within
such a short time. The stunning new DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel &
Conference Center La Mola joins our growing portfolio of 38 hotels
operating in 13 countries across Europe.”
Guests of
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Conference Center La
Mola will enjoy the characteristic features of more than 330
DoubleTree by Hilton locations around the world, including a caring
service culture that is demonstrated to every guest at check-in with
the brand's signature chocolate chip cookie welcome, an array of
upscale amenities and guest services, and rewards from the Hilton
HHonors guest loyalty program. Gold and Diamond HHonors members can
enjoy complimentary, continental breakfast and all guests of the hotel
will receive complimentary high speed internet access in all guest
rooms, public areas and meeting spaces.
Hilton Worldwide has experienced strong growth in Spain recently, with
a number of exciting new hotel openings, including DoubleTree by Hilton
& Spa Emporda and Hilton Garden Inn Sevilla. The company now
operates eight hotels in Spain with five Hilton Hotels & Resorts
properties located in Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo and Palma, Mallorca.
