Barceló eyes cities

Spanish hotel group Barceló, known now in Mexico primarily for its all-inclusive resorts at seaside destinations, has announced plans to open hotels in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey. The new properties should be in operation sometime in 2012, according to Miguel Angel Guajardo, general director of the group in Mexico. At the moment the only Barceló in Mexico not on the beach is in Cuernavaca, a favorite weekend playground for Mexico City.
