A Biosphere Hotel and a Responsible Tourism Establishment, Hotel ME was
inaugurated in 2008. This tower hotel, reaching 120 metres high, is one of
the tallest buildings of the Barcelona skyline. It is the work of French architect
Dominique Perrault.
Hotel ME participates in a new initiative, called Mobec Hotels, a mobility sharing
system for tourists and city visitors with electric motorbikes. The project
is led by the Barcelona Hotel Association and Barcelona City Council.
Mobec Hotels is a unique and innovative electric mobility initiative. The
project links the
Mobec Point charging stations (there is one
Mobecpoint
Smart
Motorbike Charging Station in front of the hotel) with green energy and
electric mobility. The project consists of the installation of a network of charging
stations for six vehicles in front of the hotels of Barcelona participating
in the project, which will have six rental two-wheel electric vehicles available
for the hotel’s guests.
The project brings value added to the clients of the hotels participating in the
programme, by offering a cheap, sustainable and efficient transportation system.
Furthermore,
Mobec Hotels is a good way for the participating hotels to
implement environmental and corporate social responsibility policies, bringing
benefits for the hotel’s image and their environmental concern, reducing
pollution and noise in the city.
Joining the
Mobec Hotels initiative is very easy for all the hotels interested,
as the investment is very low and the return of investment is very fast.
