Feel at home

This summer, enjoy getaways in unique destinations with spectacular hotels, from historical establishments to the latest grand openings.

  1. 1 Luxury, in London

    Opened in 1851, the Flemings Mayfair Hotel is an absolutely unique property in an unbeatable location in the capital. Part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel connects 13 Georgian townhouses that add up to 129 luxurious rooms and suites in addition to 10 apartments, and offers exquisite boutique service. In the heart of Mayfair, it is just steps from Bond Street and Green Park.

    Try: Taste the new British cuisine of chef Sofian Msetfi, who boasts a proven track record in restaurants with the prestige of Adare Manos, in Ormer Mayfair, in the hotel itself.

  2. 2 Culture, in San Sebastián

    The Hotel María Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastian, is not only already part of the city’s history; since it opened its doors in 1912, it has been the favourite of royalty and aristocracy. Its ties to culture have made it a classic of the San Sebastian Film Festival, which this year is being held from 22 to 30 September, when it will provide accommodation to the most exclusive stars. Its gastronomic proposal is unforgettable, with exquisite dishes by Stefano Brunato at The Gallery restaurant, Sunday Brunch on the terrace on the first Sunday of the month and the cocktails of the renowned mixologist Javier de las Muelas at Dry Bar San Sebastian.

    This summer: From 21 to 25 July, the city is hosting the San Sebastian Jazz Festival.

  3. 3 Nature, in Gran Canaria

    The first hotel of the Paradisus by Meliá brand in all of Europe has just opened its doors, doing so in Las Palmas. Faithful to the philosophy of committing to connecting with nature in each destination, this spectacular luxury resort makes it possible to explore the island and its culture with personalised routes and excursions or even cooking classes. Gastronomy is a fundamental pillar of Paradisus Gran Canaria thanks to exclusive restaurants such as Peseta and Kanna Night, with a menu and a tasting menu by the chef Germán Ortega. 

    And it continues: Tour the Canary Islands and discover the second Paradisus by Meliá establishment in Europe, Paradisus Salinas Lanzarote.

  4. 4 Mediterranean, in Mallorca

    ZEL, the brand of the tennis star Rafa Nadal together with Meliá Hotels International, is now a reality. It will come as no surprise that Mallorca was the chosen destination for its debut. This property has just had its grand opening in Palmanova, Calviá. It is an authentic celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle that includes local crafts in the design, which mixes neutral colours and natural materials with marine details. With two swimming pools and exquisite gastronomic offerings such as Beso Beach, which has been in the business for a decade, ZEL Mallorca is the company’s new commitment to reinterpreting true luxury.

    An awakening: ZEL Mallorca has its own specialty café in the lobby, a Syra Coffee corner.
