Meliá Hotels International has incorporated the first property in Barcelona under its Gran Meliá luxury brand.
Last year the group announced plans will take over the management of the city's former Rey Juan Carlos I hotelwhich had been closed since 2020.
The property, located next to the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya, has been renovated and renamed Torre Melina, in honor of the 25,000 square meters of gardens that surround the hotel.
Features include 391 rooms spread across sixteen floors, as well as a new three-story RedLevel Presidential Suite, three pools, a man-made beach, 18 event spaces, a spa, and a private rooftop terrace with 360-degree views.
Guests staying in RedLevel rooms and suites will also have access to “reserved areas, personalized attention and premium service.”
