They make everything possible, they are responsible of the success of Elba Hotels, and that is why we wanted to dedicate this space to them. To close these series we have someone known by all the workers in our brand, Fernando de las Heras, our CEO.
“We live times of volatile situation that always affect our activity, but I want to send a message of encouragement to our teams. If fortune gives us health, everything else will be fixed. We must be self-demanding in offering our guests the best service and our best smile; this makes our work enjoyable and attracts success to our project ”
Fernando has been at Elba Hotels for 22 years. "A lifetime!", As he says. “I arrived as the opening director of the first hotel of the chain in the Canary Islands, which at that time was the second hotel of the company. As the chain grew with the opening of new hotels, my responsibilities also did it, until I reached my current position” explains the current CEO of Elba Hotels.
A trip for two
Traveling as a couple and having a few days of relaxation is one of the best options to strengthen bonds.
One of the situations that usually occur in a relationship is monotony; The routine, however pleasant and comfortable, ends up making the butterflies that used to flutter in our stomachs to calm down. Over time, relationships gain in depth, but it is necessary to take care of them with new experiences in common and positive memories. And what better way to do this than planning a trip with your couple?

With the rain and cold that December brings with it, it is normal to feel more like staying indoors enjoying your warm house and those (pre) Christmas moments in family that we miss so much during the rest of the year. But December is also a perfect month to travel and discover, for example, the Spanish capital. In today's blog we show you the best cultural plans in Madrid.
Discover the culture of Madrid
The options for cultural tourism in Spain and, specifically, in Madrid are endless. In addition to the typical Christmas plans, such as visiting the traditional market at the Main Square and tasting a delicious squid sandwich or a chocolate with “churros” in the famous San Ginés chocolate shop, opened since 1894; There are also many exhibitions and museums in Madrid that will allow us to shelter from the cold and will discover artists and art works that will not leave us indifferent

Meet Emma Ángela González, waitress at Elba Hotels
Today we share with you the story of one of our employees about her life and her work with us. They make everything possible.
Next June, Emma, a waitress at Elba Castillo San Jorge, will not only turn 20 as an employee of Elba Hotels, but also as a member of our big family. Our partner began with us almost by chance: “One day I came to have a drink at ‘La Barca’ and they offered me to work at the hotel”.
Her great experience as an employee is evident in every detail, since her main priority is "to make the customers who visit us happy, making them enjoy the time they spend with us to the fullest." And it doesn't surprise us because the attention she provides to our guests is extraordinary.
When we ask her what she likes most about her daily life at Elba Castillo San Jorge, Emma doesn't hesitate for a second: “The best thing is direct contact with customers, seeing that they feel comfortable and have a good time with us and, above all, see familiar faces return to the hotel every year”.
