Located near to the famous “fashion quadrilateral” at the Piazza della Repubblica, the hotel will be close to the Corso Como, one of the chicest areas of the city.

The new ME Milan, which will be housed in a building by renowned architect Aldo Rossi, will be completely renovated to the style of the late architect. The 132-rooms will include 34 suites, amongst which will be the signature penthouse Suite Me, the Lounge-Bar and Restaurant, and ultra-modern conference rooms.

The rooftop bar, another hallmark of ME hotels will be an impressive 600m² in size and will offer panoramic views over the city, showing off sights including the Garibaldi towers.

Me by Meliá is aimed at cultured, fashionable guests who are driven by new experiences and opportunities. The brand has been built on first-rate service, and ME Milan will be no exception. Each guest’s stay will be orchestrated by the dedicated Aura Manager, whose job it is to know the city back-to-front and use this knowledge to make the hotel’s service truly bespoke.

Gabriel Escarrer, CEO and Vice Chairman of Meliá Hotels International commented: “The economic and industrial capital of Italy has been awaiting a hotel such as this. The announcement of a new ME Ibiza and ME Mallorca, constitutes the next step in the international positioning of the brand as providing revered hotels for modern and discerning travellers, combining business and pleasure with authentic lifestyle experiences. If each ME hotel is unique because of its design, its energy and its power to become a social epicentre, ME Milan will undoubtedly make a mark in the hotel, culinary and leisure offerings of the city.”

The news of the opening follows announcements of ME Ibiza (2014), ME Mallorca (2014) and Zaha Hadid’s ME Dubai (2016). ME Milan will be the first hotel by the brand in Italy, where Meliá already manages Gran Meliá Rome, Meliá Villa Capri and Meliá Genoa.
