Piqué's hotel in Málaga already shows its face

The so-called Piqué's hotel, ME Málaga, and the first luxury establishment of Meliá in the capital of the Costa del Sol, is now showing its face. The tarp that covered the facade has been removed, allowing the aesthetics of a building that will welcome its first customers on October 10th to be admired. This five-star hotel, located on the former site of the Andalucía cinema, right on Victoria Street, next to Plaza de la Merced and overlooking the monumental Alcazaba complex, will be the fifth five-star hotel in the city and marks the introduction of Meliá's luxury brand ME in the city.

The establishment, promoted by the Kerad EB society, belonging to an investment group behind which the former FC Barcelona football player Gerard Piqué is found, is set up in a building with a ground floor and mezzanine, five more floors, and an attic, with a height of more than 35 meters. The hotel will have 105 double rooms, in addition to eight suites and 15 junior suites. At the presentation, Gabriel Escarrer, president and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, expressed his conviction that "in this city, ME by Meliá will find its natural space to successfully meet the demand of the new experiential luxury traveler."

These are the rooms that this hotel will offer, which will include eight suites and 15 junior suites.

Escarrer estimated the investment made in this establishment at 50 million euros, which also includes a convention center, an à la carte restaurant, and a café. According to the chain, on the first floor, the hotel will have a convention center and a gym, while the next four floors will house the rooms. Additionally, the attic will feature a large heated outdoor infinity pool with a solarium next to a bar and a restaurant which, they claim, aims to become the best rooftop in the city of Málaga. "These spaces will be the epicenter of the social life and cultural agenda of the hotel, thus reflecting the nature of the ME by Meliá brand: a reflection of the latest trends and artistic creations from the local scene," the company details.

The president of this chain, in a recent interview with SUR, already mentioned that this will not be the last Meliá project in Málaga, as the company is already exploring other opportunities in the capital of the Costa del Sol. "For me, Málaga is a great city," he stated.
