In October, work will begin on the first of the 12 Bacatá Express hotels to be built in Colombia. This format is aimed at business tourists and aims to offer executives and professionals from different areas an extension of the office or their workplace.
The complex, which is expected to be open to the public in March 2013, will have 108 rooms, parking basement, restaurant, bar, swimming pool, conference room, gym and terrace. Its design will be framed in the Colombian Kogui culture and will include pictorial, gastronomic and ornamental samples of Colombian artists and designers.
According to Juan Carlos Galindo, general manager of OxoHotel, a consultancy that seeks to identify the operator of the chain, this type of hotel will not only worry about providing a quality service, but will focus on customers who prefer the modern and current. "The goal is to offer guests cutting-edge design and efficient, agile service."
Additionally, through efficiency in the use of energy and water resources, the project aims to reduce environmental impact, reduce operating costs and achieve LEED environmental certification.
