Gran Meliá

Gran Meliá represents the pinnacle of Spanish luxury within the wider Meliá Hotels International portfolio. The brand is defined by a philosophy of “Spanish luxury with passion,” combining European refinement with Mediterranean warmth. From city landmarks in Madrid and Rome to resort settings in Asia and the Caribbean, each property interprets this ethos in a way that reflects its location while maintaining brand consistency.

Design is sophisticated and contemporary, often collaborating with leading architects and interior designers to create environments that balance classic elegance with modern style. Public spaces are characterised by art installations, statement lighting and polished finishes, while guest rooms use soft textures, marble bathrooms and intuitive technology to create comfort that feels both international and rooted in place.

Cuisine is a central pillar of the Gran Meliá identity. Michelin-starred partnerships and collaborations with celebrated chefs bring credibility and creativity, while menus focus on seasonal produce and local traditions. Dining is staged as an experience, whether in grand urban restaurants, poolside terraces or private in-room settings. Beverage programs highlight Spanish wines and innovative cocktails, extending the brand’s culinary influence.

Wellness and lifestyle offerings are embedded in each property. Spa by Clarins, fitness centres and curated cultural experiences ensure that guests balance rest with engagement. Service reflects the Spanish idea of “calidez” — warmth delivered with polish — ensuring a standard of hospitality that is both professional and personal.

Gran Meliá’s ability to merge European heritage with contemporary luxury positions it as a global brand with a distinctive personality, appealing to travellers who seek elegance delivered with passion and flair.
