Meliá Hotels International, the Spanish hotel brand and the third largest hotel group in Europe, has announced plans for one in three hotel openings between 2023 and 2026 to be within its luxury portfolio.
The luxury brand rooted in Mediterranean heritage and born in Palma de Mallorca in 1956, said its plan demonstrates its “rapid growth, continued success and commitment to the luxury travel industry”.
It added it has key upcoming luxury hotel openings with the Palazzo Cordusio, a Gran Meliá Hotel in Milan, Ngorongoro Lodge, a Meliá Collection Hotel in Tanzania, ME Malta, ME Lisbon, ME Guadalajara in Mexico, Paradisus Gran Canaria, Paradisus Salinas in Lanzarote, and Gran Meliá Nha Trang in Vietnam.
Meliá is already the 19th largest hotel group worldwide with a presence across six continents and 42 countries.
Gabriel Escarrer, CEO of Meliá Hotels International, said: “In today’s market, luxury and exclusivity can no longer be defined from one perspective, therefore our luxury brands [Gran Meliá, The Meliá Collection, ME by Meliá, and Paradisus by Meliá] seek to address the world of luxury in different ways. Our mission is to provide conscious travel for an enriching lifestyle.
“We have an impressive pipeline and our prime luxury hotels will spearhead our continued upwards trajectory, not just in destinations of Meliá’s roots of the Mediterranean, but further afield to Africa and Asia too.”
