Dealing with complaints…
It´s the best source of information and improvement. A satisfied client after a complaint will turn into your best client, however, most of the times it is not funny.

4. Tell us about your hotel and your aims with it?
Hotel Omm is a design hotel with a great location in the city center. The hotel is targeted to modern people who are looking for a different type hotel very much differentiated to the classic, traditional 5 star urban hotel.

Hotel Omm, Barcelona

Moo, our restaurant has a star Michelin, assessed by the Roca brothers of Celler de Can Roca in Girona (two star Michelin restaurant). To have a restaurant like this has some risks due to the high staff ratio you need in order to provide to your clientele the good service required in such type of Restaurant.

Besides the gastronomic restaurant, the lobby area is always the place to go when you are in Barcelona. The lobby is always busy with business people from the city, some other are having a cocktail and relaxing after work, clients of the Hotel enjoying the nice atmosphere and doing plans for their next visits in the city. There is always interesting people around. We program live elegant concerts, dj music late at night and we could probably say that there’s always people around due to the cafeteria Restaurant is opened from 13h to 1h.

My aim in this Hotel is to find the right client for this hotel and provide them with the right service.
