General information

Short Summary
Colombian hotel in Barranquilla offers lodging, event venues, and catering services for tourism and business purposes. It seeks commercial agreements with international travel agencies, event organizers, and corporate partners to support destination weddings, business trips, and MICE tourism.
Full Description
A hospitality service provider based in Barranquilla, Colombia offers accommodation and event services for both business and leisure travelers. The establishment operates over 70 rooms and provides facilities to host events for up to 600 people. It is located in a central area of the city, close to business, financial, and dining districts, ensuring easy access for both domestic and international visitors.

The accommodation offer includes standard rooms, junior suites, and a duplex suite. Standard rooms range from 24 to 27 square meters and are available in various configurations (double, twin, king, or queen beds). These rooms include private bathrooms with showers and are designed to provide comfort and functionality, with views of the city, pool, or quiet interior courtyards.

Junior suites are 35 square meters and are situated on hotel corners with double balconies offering views of the pool and surrounding palm trees. These rooms offer additional space with a seating area and are equipped with a king or queen bed and private bathroom with full amenities.

The duplex suite covers 88 square meters over two levels. The first level includes a living and dining area, a king-size bed, and a marble bathroom with double sinks. The second level features a private solarium with a tub and seating area for relaxation.

The facility includes eight multi-functional event rooms with a maximum capacity of 600 attendees. These are equipped for corporate meetings, conferences, conventions, and private events. The provider is the only venue in the city offering laser projection technology for audiovisual presentations. Additional services include catering and logistical support, with a focus on destination weddings and tailored events.

The organization is seeking the following types of international cooperation:

Commercial agreements with travel agencies, tour operators, and booking platforms. These partnerships aim to promote accommodation and event services to international audiences, particularly those seeking MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) and leisure travel options in Colombia.

Outsourcing or supplier agreements with event organizers and logistics providers. These would support the design and execution of complex events such as destination weddings and international conventions, combining local infrastructure with specialized expertise.

The objective of this cooperation is to enhance international visibility, increase room and venue occupancy rates, and attract curated travel and event experiences to Barranquilla. By establishing long-term commercial links with foreign partners, the provider aims to contribute to the positioning of Barranquilla as an emerging destination for business and event tourism in Latin America.

The cooperation is expected to function through a collaborative exchange of services and responsibilities. Travel agencies and operators would integrate the venue into their product offerings, while logistics and event partners would co-design and manage local services, supported by the in-house team. Joint efforts will focus on delivering high-standard experiences for international clients.
Advantages and Innovations
This Colombian hospitality provider offers several distinct operational advantages. It is located in Barranquilla, near key commercial and financial zones, facilitating access for business and MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) travelers. The property includes eight event spaces with capacity for up to 600 attendees, equipped with laser projection technology for advanced audiovisual requirements—a feature not commonly available in the local market.

Accommodation options include over 70 rooms of various sizes and configurations, ranging from standard rooms (24–27 m²) to larger junior and duplex suites. These facilities are suitable for both short and extended stays, with amenities designed to support work and rest.

The provider has a structured approach to destination weddings and international events. It offers integrated event planning services that include in-house catering and logistics coordination, supporting a seamless experience for clients organizing cross-border celebrations or conferences.

Operational independence allows the establishment to respond rapidly to partner requirements. Decision-making is localized, which enables a higher degree of customization in service delivery and flexibility in forming and maintaining international collaborations.

Compared to other hospitality services in the region, the combination of location, technology, internal event capabilities, and service adaptability positions this provider as a competitive partner for international agencies and tour operators. These features are particularly relevant for partners aiming to develop curated travel and event products in northern Colombia.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner
The organisation is looking for international partners with specific roles depending on the type of cooperation:

Travel agencies and tour operators are expected to promote and distribute accommodation and event services, especially through corporate travel networks, online tourism platforms, and agencies focused on MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions). Cooperation may be commission-based or through pre-agreed booking arrangements.

Event organisers and destination management companies should coordinate group travel, conferences, and weddings in Colombia. They would be responsible for logistics, client liaison, and execution of the events on-site.

Travel firms interested in co-branded or bundled services should contribute to the development of joint packages that integrate the hotel’s services with other tourism products (e.g. local tours, transfers, experiences).

Companies with technological or logistical expertise are invited to support operational improvements. Areas of interest include booking systems integration, guest service automation, or event production enhancements.

Partners with experience in sustainability and environmental consultancy are sought for joint projects aimed at improving energy efficiency, water use, or waste management within the hotel’s operations.

The desired partners should bring relevant sector experience and the capacity to contribute to customised services targeting international corporate clients and event-based tourism.
