MELIÁ HOTELS INTERNATIONAL
In 2024, Meliá Hotels International’s expansion plans will see the opening of 20-plus hotels around the world and the signing of another 20 projects. Especially significant will be the growth of the luxury brand ME by Meliá, we learn.
Meliá Hotels International participation in FITUR 2024 focused on its youngest brand, Zel Hotels (the result of an alliance with Rafael Nadal), which had an extremely successful debut in Mallorca last summer, said a brand spokesperson. Zel Hotels will see the opening of a new hotel in Tossa del Mar (Girona) this year, with additional projects in Sayulita (Mexico), Madrid, and Punta Cana (Dominican Republic).
However, one of the most significant projects for Melia this year, is the recently opened Torre Melina Hotel, Gran Meliá in Barcelona, which reclaims one of the city’s most iconic five-star hotels, the former Hotel Juan Carlos I. Set in 25,000 square metres of beautiful gardens and offering fantastic views of Barcelona, Torre Melina is located on Diagonal Avenue and a 15 minute-walk from FC Barcelona Camp Nou stadium.
CORAL HOTELS
Coral Hotels is undergoing an ambitious re-conceptualisation of the Coral Compostela Beach Golf complex in Tenerife. Among the most notable innovations are the 16 exclusive swim-up flats, with private pool and furnished terrace. This unique product completely redefines the holiday experience in Tenerife, adapting to the needs and demands of the most discerning guests.
On the other hand, Coral California (also at Tenerife) has undergone a transformation project converting the roof into a chill-out terrace, offering a new space for guests to enjoy. At the same time, there has been an integral reform to its rooms, creating a modern and fresh atmosphere, a company statement said.
