Melia Hotels International has unveiled its latest jewel, the ME Malta, which officially opened its doors on November 1. This luxurious five-star hotel stands tall among the Mercury Towers development in St. Julian’s, a picturesque seaside town on the northeastern coast of Malta. Crafted by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid, the hotel is not only a place of accommodation but also an architectural statement, showcasing the modernist flair that Hadid is celebrated for.
Occupying an impressive 20 floors, ME Malta features a total of 113 rooms, 27 suites, and 35 residences, all designed with contemporary aesthetics that blend comfort and sophistication. Each accommodation option is meticulously styled, promising an immersive experience infused with the local culture. Additionally, the hotel caters to both leisure and business travelers with designated social and event spaces; these include three innovative Thinking Labs, a spacious Plenary Room, and two versatile Breakout Rooms designed to host a variety of functions.
The ME Malta goes beyond the typical hotel experience by introducing the Culture Collective program, which aims to highlight local artists and musicians. This initiative encourages guests to connect with Malta’s rich cultural heritage, allowing them to experience live performances and exhibitions throughout their stay. Meanwhile, the hotel’s rooftop area promises unmatched views of the coastline, wherein guests can indulge in modern Mediterranean cuisine and unwind by the poolside, framed with cabanas and loungers for added relaxation.
Guests will have the opportunity to tantalize their taste buds at the hotel’s signature restaurant, The Luciano by Gino D’Acampo. The restaurant specializes in classic Italian dishes, crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring an authentic culinary experience. For a more vibrant atmosphere, the soon-to-open Radio Rooftop bar, expected to launch in early 2025, will embrace a lively atmosphere with Asian-inspired sharing plates and cocktails, complemented by live music from local DJs, offering a unique social experience for visitors.
Anticipation is building for the hotel’s state-of-the-art spa and 24/7 fitness facility, both set to debut in early 2025. The spa will provide a comprehensive menu of wellness treatments, ranging from soothing massages to revitalizing facials and specialized full-body rituals designed to enhance overall well-being. The fitness center will feature cutting-edge equipment for guests looking to maintain their fitness regimen amidst their luxurious stay.
With the opening of ME Malta, Melia Hotels International offers a sophisticated retreat that blends modern design, cultural engagement, and exceptional hospitality. Set in the stunning backdrop of Malta’s coastline, this hotel is designed to cater to both relaxation and business needs, making it a significant addition to the island’s luxury tourism offerings. The ME Malta is more than just a place to stay; it is a destination that promises memorable experiences for all its guests.
