Melia: lifestyle in Lisbon, bleisure in Barcelona

Melia International has its sights set on Portugal, and Lisbon in particular. A virtual neighbour, the Spanish hotelier has nine hotels in the country, as well as seven under development. Of these, two are due to open in the Portuguese capital next year: a contemporary hotel for its mid-range Innside brand and, most importantly, a new hotel for its new hotel in Lisbon, a design hotel for its luxury and lifestyle brand ME.

Under construction next to Eduardo VII Park and Marquês de Pombal Square, close to both the Avenida da Liberdade and the historic centre, the future ME Lisbon will showcase the brand's expertise, namely its sense of celebration and its commitment to the environment. his taste for architecture. Designed by architect João Paciência according to sustainable standards, the hotel will stand out not only for its façade, all in semi-transparent glass, but also for its sophisticated interiors created by the Broadway Malyan studio.

A contemporary hotel, the Me Lisbon is designed for both leisure and business travellers, with 213 rooms and a meeting area with 11 flexible rooms. The hotel's events dimension will be further enhanced by the presence of the Radio Rooftop Bar on its roof, combining a festive atmosphere with panoramic views. The hotel will also feature an à la carte restaurant, a gym and a spa with indoor pool, Turkish bath sauna and massage cabins.
