The ME by Meliá brand opened its first location in the United States last week in Miami. ME Miami offers 129 guestrooms and 1,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Signature suites, a 14^th-floor sun deck and a poolside bar and lounge set to open later this year all add to the property’s unique luxury feel. “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. Guestrooms include custom furnishings, modern amenities, in-room Maxi bars and views of the bay and skyline. Two upcoming suites, the Personality Suite and Suite ME, offer deluxe ME+ Experience service, for the ultimate individualized stay. Guestrooms are pet-friendly, and pet-tailored welcome kits include toys, a pet towel and teeth cleaners, alongside pet beds, bowls and chef-prepared food. ME Miami is located in downtown Miami, near several museums and popular arts and entertainment districts. The brand combines individualized stays with social communal settings for a contemporary luxury experience near top destination attractions.
