Melia Hotels International’s ME by Meliá brand has officially opened its first-ever U.S. destination – ME Miami - in Downtown Miami.

The 129-rooms hotel features more than 1,000 square feet of prime meeting space, brand signature suites, a 14th floor Sun Deck featuring open air Sunset and Sunrise pools and Bella’s Bar, a poolside bar and lounge set to open later this Summer. 

The property will also introduce a fresh interpretation of The ONE Group’s STK restaurant.

The opening of ME Miami is the latest for the lifestyle brand, which boasts destinations in London, Madrid, Milan, Ibiza, Mallorca, Cabo, and Cancún.

ME Miami is located in the heart of bustling downtown and within a stone’s throw of major cultural institutions including the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts and the Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science.

“The opening of ME Miami is not only historic because it is the brand’s first-ever foray into the U.S. market, but also because it’s an acknowledgement and celebration of Miami’s thriving downtown community, which has undergone an extraordinary and exciting cultural renaissance,” said André P. Gerondeau, Executive Vice President of Hotels, Meliá Hotels International.

“As the brand does with all of its destinations, ME Miami really places the guest right in the middle of that urban vitality and momentum.  We’re excited about what we’ve achieved here, and know that our guests will find ME Miami a distinctive and compelling addition to an already robust portfolio of unique destinations.”
