Gran Melia brand debuts in Barcelona – Business Traveller

Meliá Hotels International has added the first Barcelona property under its luxury Gran Melia brand.

Last year the group announced plans to take over the management of the city’s former Rey Juan Carlos I hotel, which had been closed since 2020.

The property – which is located next to the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya – has now been renovated and renamed Torre Melina, after the 25,000 sqm gardens which surround the hotel.

Features include 391 rooms over sixteen floors, as well as a new three-storey RedLevel Presidential Suite, three swimming pools, an artificial beach, 18 events spaces, a spa and a private rooftop with 360-degree views.

Guests staying in RedLevel rooms and suites will also have access to “reserved areas, personalised attention, and premium service”.
