Melia to open luxury hotel in Portugal

ME Lisbon is scheduled to open in 2024

Meliá Hotels International will open its first luxury hotel in Lisbon in 2024.

The new ME Lisbon will be located on the corner of the downtown avenues of Antonio Augusto de Aguiar and Fontes Pereira de Melo, alongside the Eduardo VII Park and Marquês de Pombal Square, just a short distance from the historic city centre.

ME Lisbon will be defined by its architecture, interiors and cuisine attributed to its work with the local creative community of artists and influencers. It will also feature the latest technology.

Already under construction, the hotel has been designed by the Portuguese architect João Paciência and will feature a striking semi-transparent glass façade. The design will employ efficient and sustainable technology to minimise its environmental footprint. For example, the heat generated by the hotel’s cooling systems will be used as a source of energy for the hot water boilers.
