Meliá Hotels International is set to get two new hotels in Mexico: Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts will open its first hotel in Mexico and ME by Meliá will continue its growth in the country with its second hotel.
After the debut of ME Cabo, the second ME by Meliá hotel in Mexico will be located in Guadalajara and will be the brand's first urban hotel in the country. Expected to open in 2023, ME Guadalajara will have 150 rooms and suites as well as a sky pool and a rooftop area and several dining options.
The Gran Meliá brand, meanwhile, will make its Mexican debut along the Pacific Ocean in Rivera Nayarit, less than an hour from Puerto Vallarta Airport. The hotel will have 180 rooms and suites.
“The addition of these two new hotels is a major boost to the international growth of our luxury brands, which we will continue to grow in key destinations worldwide,” said Gabriel Escarrer, EVP and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, in a statement. “The debut of the Gran Meliá brand in a country with potential for luxury hotels such as Mexico, is a significant milestone, and I am positive that it will be a resounding success.”
Meliá Hotels International is committed to its expansion in Mexico. The country, which in 2022 has already exceeded the number of international tourists received in 2019, is a preferential destination for travelers from the United States, Canada and other countries in the Americas.
The two new hotels will add to the seven hotels already in operation and another three in the process of opening in the Meliá Hotels International portfolio in Mexico. Specifically, the Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand will be making its debut in another five countries with seven hotels, adding to the six countries and 15 hotels currently in its portfolio.
