Meliá Hotels International will open its first luxury hotel in Lisbon in 2024 the lifestyle brand ME by Meliá. The new ME Lisbon will be located on the corner of the downtown avenues of Antonio Augusto de Aguiar and Fontes Pereira de Melo, alongside the Eduardo VII Park and Marques de Pombal Square, just a short distance from the historic centre of the city.
With 213 rooms, ME Lisbon will offer the perfect combination of design, service and comfort for modern travellers, perfectly complemented by a select choice of innovative dining and wellness concepts. It will feature an à la carte restaurant and a choice of international cuisine available throughout the day, together with one of the most popular hallmarks of the brand: a Radio Rooftop Bar, a new meeting point for Lisbon residents and visitors, allowing them to enjoy the best rooftop ambience in the city and fantastic panoramic views.
The hotel will also offer a gym and fully equipped spa and health club, providing customers with everything they need to disconnect and enjoy a total-relaxation experience in the indoor pool, sauna, Turkish bath or massage cabins. There will also be more than 600m² of space for meetings and events in 11 flexible and adaptable event rooms. All the facilities required to make it a perfect destination for both business and leisure travellers.
This iconic hotel owned by the Discovery Portugal Real Estate Fund will allow Meliá Hotels International to continue to make progress with a growth strategy focused primarily on premium and luxury hotels. In addition to the ME Lisbon, the ME by Meliá brand will open at least three more hotels in 2023 and 2024 in Malaga (Spain), Malta, and Guadalajara (Mexico), extending the footprint of a collection of designer hotels that is now among the most competitive international luxury hotel brands in the world.
Meliá already has two hotels in Lisbon, and the ME Lisbon will also be accompanied by the first INNSiDE by Meliá hotel in the city, which is also scheduled to open in 2024. Portugal is becoming one of the fastest growing markets for the company, with the 7 hotels currently under development adding to the 9 which are already open.
