It is a true honour to become director of the first Meininger hotel in Spain, right here in my home town. » testifies Mariluz Álvarez, director of the Meininger Barcelona hotel. Barcelona is such a dynamic, diverse and vibrant city, making it a perfect choice for Meininger. We don’t just offer a place to stay. We help people discover a destination from the moment they step through our doors and truly connect with our unique atmosphere ".
The opening of the Barcelona establishment – the 37th in the network – marks a strong return for the brand, which had not opened a new location since 2023, when it established itself in Venice, Krakow and Cologne.
