Melia Spanish firm inaugurated another hotel in Cuba

Hotel Sevilla Affiated by Meliá. 

The Spanish hotel giant Melia has inaugurated another new hotel in the heart of Havana, the capital of Cuba.

The new Sevilla Habana is affiliated by Melia Hotel. The new hotel, with a rooftop lounge and pool, is located in the heart of Old Havana, overlooking the city’s famous Malecón. It is the first Affiliated by Melia Hotel to open in the Caribbean. Affiliated, a new brand from Melia, is a collection of “hotels with contemporary design and an authentic connection to local culture,” similar to Hilton’s Curio Collection or Hyatt’s Independent Collection.

The Sevilla Habana is the sixth Affiliated by Melia to open its doors around the world. It has 178 rooms, a couple of restaurants, three lounge bars and a meeting space.

Melia has undertaken rapid expansion in Cuba since the pandemic; over the summer, the company also opened a 50-room hotel in Havana, the Inside Habana Cathedral. Next year another establishment will open in the capital, the Hotel Plaza, with 188 rooms.
