Luggage in accommodations

Lodging luggage: the problem of many tourists

Very few accommodations offer an automated space that allows guests to store and guard their luggage.

We want to tell you a story. A story that takes place in a city with a lot of charm and tourist importance. A city in the north of Girona, which has a special charm both for its architectural morphology and for being the city that saw the birth and growth of one of the greatest exponents of surrealism, Salvador Dalí. Do you know what place we are talking about? We'll tell you right away, but first let's put ourselves in context:

The traveling lovers

Luis and Carla, a couple of traveling lovers, set out a few months ago to visit the most beautiful places in Spain. Today they arrive at a very special destination for the couple. They arrive to the city of Figueras.

For Carla, a Fine Arts student, Figueras marks an important point in her journey. You are going to visit the city where Dalí grew up and you don't want to waste a minute of your time because.

They travel with a lot of luggage during their trips, their suitcases have put them in somewhat annoying situations, but the most repeated ones have undoubtedly been:

  • Arrive at the hotel before check-in time and not be able to leave your suitcases in the room.

Without a doubt a great inconvenience for this couple who seeks to explore the streets of the cities without wasting a minute, much less having to carry the weight of luggage while sightseeing.

The couple has arrived in Figueras ahead of time. They head to the hotel and there are several possible scenarios arising from their early arrival:

  • The room is available and they allow you to check-in and leave your suitcases and, with that, start sightseeing.
  • The room is not available and...
    1. They cannot leave their suitcases at reception so they will have to go sightseeing with them.
    2. They have chosen the right hotel that offers them the availability of storing their luggage completely safely and easily in their smart lockers, so they can sightsee comfortably without worries.

This time, they have been well informed and have found a hotel that, in addition to having automated check-in and check-out, has smart lockers that will allow them to leave their luggage and other Smart Lockers where they can store their bicycles.

So thanks to the technological innovation that the Hotel Rambla 33 in Figueres has decided to implement in its facilities, Carla and Luis will be able to enjoy a much greater service experience than that offered by the rest of the hotels. In this way, luggage in accommodation will no longer be a problem, regardless of the time the user arrives.

The start of the trip

Now you can begin your journey. Walk along the Rambla de Figueras, lose yourself in its streets where different artistic styles clash: the neoclassical looks with modesty at the modernist and the latter with suspicion at the rationalist.

By being free of luggage, the young couple will be able to tour the entire Dalí Theatre-Museum without looking at their watches, followed by Sant Ferrar Castle (can you imagine touring this emblematic building with a carry-on suitcase) and be able to end their day with a glass of D.O wine from the area and try the wide range of KMO gastronomic specialities that characterise the city of Figueras.

Without a doubt, when Luis and Carla finish their stay in this city, they will remember, in addition to the works of Dali and the picturesque appearance of the location, the pleasant experience offered by their accommodation, which undoubtedly allowed them to make the most of this getaway. From now on, it will be an essential point when choosing accommodation for their next destinations.

And now that these travellers' adventure is over, we have a few questions for you: What do you do with your luggage when you can't leave it at your accommodation? What do you think Dalí would have done? We think he would have looked for a hotel with this service to store his luggage, because there is nothing more surreal than travelling in an uncomfortable way.

Here is the link to the lockers where the luggage in question is stored:
