Hotel Technology Next Generation

Rafaelhoteles Madrid Norte, and Rafaelhoteles Casanova in Barcelona, have recently opened with a personal ‘Signature’ touch enhancing the overall image for their guests, which perfectly blends with the exclusive Rafaelhoteles’ pictorial collections. Rafaelhoteles has also chosen Elsafe in-room safes and PolarBar Minibars.

PARIS, FRANCE | Rafaelhoteles Madrid Norte (Madrid) is an innovative hotel with 145 rooms and 1300 m2 of convention/banquet space. It is located in Arroyo de la Vega, Alcobendas, in the Omega Business Park, a new concept in business centers. Rafaelhoteles Casanova, in Barcelona, is located in the well-known Ensanche area of Barcelona, at the intersection of Gran Vía de les Corts Catalanes Street and Casanova Street. It brings a new concept of modern business hotel in the area with 126 fully-equipped rooms.

“Our concept of business hotels requires that every element is in perfect harmony to provide the most relaxing environment for our guests”, Juan Escudero, Managing Director of Rafaelhoteles mentioned. “Signature by VingCard with its design-centric modern look and minimal hardware on the door was the perfect match to compliment the style of the hotel and provide this unique environment throughout our facilities”.

As Paul Klee stated: “Art does not reproduce the visible, it makes visible”, Signature by VingCard is the perfect compliment to our Rafaelhoteles’ pictorial collections available at our hotels.
