Barceló Hotels launches UK’s first Barcy Club
To boost its family friendly offering, The Barceló Torquay Imperial Hotel has invested just under £100,000 on the development of two new fantastic children’s play areas to welcome more families to the hotel.The UK's very first Barcy Club is a dedicated children’s area that consists of an outdoor and an indoor area and will be available to family residents come rain or shine all year round.
Paul Harnedy, Regional Manager for Barceló UK Hotels said: “The new Barcy Club concept has already proved very popular with children and their parents and we are currently looking at other venues in the UK to roll out this concept. We will look to open another three Barcy Clubs by the end of 2009 with an investment of around £250k. This coupled with some of our other family friendly initiatives, such as our new Children’s menus and our all inclusive holiday concept means that Barceló Hotels UK really is going Family Friendly.”
The Club, inspired by the Barcy Club Worldwide model, is designed for children between the ages of 2 to 5 and 5 and 14 years old to ensure that they can have a safe, fun environment in which to play on holiday.
Inside the Barcy Club is a brand new colourful creative play area for younger children, as well as a separate games room to entertain older children, which features table tennis, table football, games consoles, board games and furnished with comfy bean bags.
Outside there is a full play centre with a selection of mini rides such as sit-on tractors and a safe Astroturf play surface, plus, of course, the hotel has its own outside swimming pool.
The Barceló Torquay Imperial Hotel is a splendid seafront hotel that includes an outdoor and indoor pool, 152 luscious bedrooms including 92 sea facing bedrooms to choose from plus a Health & Leisure Club that includes a gym and a spa. The hotel has also recently spent £100,000 in upgrading TVs in all its bedrooms.
