Meliá to open Innside New York

Meliá Hotels International has made further progress in its growth and positioning strategy with the announcement of hotels in New York and Doha.

The group has announced its first property in New York City, launching in March 2016. Located at 132 West 27th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue, Innside New York NoMad is within easy access of the city’s iconic landmarks and attractions, including New York Highline, Times Square and Madison Square Gardens.

The hotel will offer 313 spacious guestrooms, with neutral contemporary interiors and accents of colour, along with oversized floor-to-ceiling windows offering natural light. The hotel has eight suites, including three unique terrace suites, with breathtaking views of New York’s skyline and the Empire State Building.

Each room will offer sleek amenities, including a Nespresso coffee machine, 42 inch flat screen TV with USB and Bluetooth connectivity and complimentary minibar. Bathrooms will feature a spacious rain shower, bathtub and a range of Sampar products.

Gabriel Escarrer, Vice Chairman and CEO of Melia Hotels International, comments: “Establishing a presence in New York City has always been a dream for Melia Hotels International. Innside New York Nomad will be a great foundation as we look to continue our expanded growth into the North American market in 2016. New York, one of the biggest tourist destinations for both business and leisure travellers in the world, is perfect for our Innside by Melia brand, and we are thrilled to see this project come to life.”

Melia Hotels International has also announced plans for Innside Doha, due to open in 2017. The 192-key hotel will mark the company’s third brand to establish a presence in Qatar.
