US: Hospitality group Melia Hotels International will open its first branded residences in the United States under the Melia brand.
Located at 1120 SW 3rd Avenue in Miami’s Brickell district, the project will be developed by Urban Network Capital Group. Concepto Taller de Arquitectura will oversee the design of the residences with Adriana Hoyos Design Studio leading the communal spaces.
When complete, Melia Miami Brickell will feature 110 residences alongside amenities such as an infinity pool, wellness centre, and dining.
Owners can opt in for inclusion in a rental program, allowing the residences to be offered to hotel guests when not in use.
Gabriel Escarrer, chairman and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, said: “We are incredibly proud to mark Meliá’s entry into the North American branded residences market with such a forward-thinking project, and this is an extraordinary opportunity for Meliá to become a relevant player in this country, where the branded residences model is already well established and thriving.
“Over the past years, we have aimed to elevate and differentiate our brand portfolio, particularly in the premium and luxury segments. Today, that effort positions us as the ideal partner for high-end residential developments that seek to combine the best of hospitality and real estate.”
