Meliá Hotels International to open three hotels in Crete and Rhodes
Meliá Hotels International, the leading hotel company in Spain and a world leader in the resort hotel segment, has announced the addition of three new hotels on the Greek islands. Two of the hotels will operate in Crete, and one in Rhodes. They will either operate as hotels Affiliated by Meliá, or as Sol by Meliá hotels.
On Crete, the Blue Sea Beach Hotel will start operating as an Affiliated by Meliá hotel in 2022. It is a five-star beachfront resort with 226 rooms and suites, including suites with their own private pool. With large outdoor spaces, the hotel facilities also include outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a gym, a spa, and two restaurants and several bars. Also in Crete, the current Marina Beach will begin to operate under the Sol by Meliá brand in 2022. Located alongside the sea, this four-star hotel has 396 rooms, most of which were renovated in 2019. Both hotels will join the Meliá Hotels International portfolio under a franchise agreement and are located near Heraklion.
On Rhodes the current Cosmopolitan Hotel will become an Affiliated by Meliá hotel in the coming May. This all-inclusive four-star hotel has a privileged location on the Ixia coast, a few kilometres from the top tourist attractions in Rhodes. The hotel offers 377 rooms with views of the sea or the extensive gardens, and its facilities include two restaurants, several bars, two outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts, a gym and a spa. The hotel is scheduled to begin operating under the Sol by Meliá brand in 2022 after adapting its facilities to the brand standards and attributes.
The owning company of these three properties is Zeus Hotels.
