Four new lifestyle hotels for discovering Spanish destinations

Fuerteventura, Sitges and Madrid now boast new accommodations that combine relaxation, activities, dining open to the public and cultural life

Landscapes, social life and well-being define the experience at four new hotels that connect their spaces with the destination itself. Sports, culture and gastronomy shape concepts with their own distinct identity. Some face the landscape and others tune in to the rhythm of the city, but all share the intention of opening the hotel’s life to its surroundings and offering a plethora of reasons for enjoyment. ZEL Fuerteventura ZEL Fuerteventura, with direct access to Sotavento Beach (Fuerteventura), features 142 rooms and suites, all with a terrace or balcony, and views of the ocean or the area's vast natural surroundings. Its location allows guests to move from the resort’s open spaces to settings associated with sports such as windsurfing, kitesurfing and wing foiling. The René Egli by Meliá school strengthens this connection with wind sports. ZEL, a brand launched by Meliá Hotels International in partnership with tennis player Rafa Nadal, offers group classes, an infinity pool and a culinary concept reflected in PARDA, Café de Finca and Voltaje. Its central courtyard connects shared living with outdoor spaces. Casa METT Sitges In Sitges, luxury is delivered on a smaller scale. Casa METT occupies five historic noucentista-style villas across which its 38 rooms are distributed. Its gardens, pool and Pool Club have been designed to attract both residents and visitors. The Balera restaurant serves up Italian and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, while the hotel’s wellness area includes two treatment rooms, a sauna, a shower and products by the renowned Swiss brand Valmont. Moreover, the hotel preserves original architectural elements and fuses them with bright interiors and natural materials.

With 38 elegantly designed rooms, Casa METT Sitges combines 19th-century charm with modern sophistication and contemporary living just 100 metres from the beach

Nômade Temple Madrid Located right on Gran Vía, Nômade Temple Madrid offers a way to experience the city through music, well-being, art and moments of tranquility. Its 93 rooms inhabit the former Hotel de las Letras, where restored early 20th-century mouldings and balconies coexist alongside a contemporary vision. Monopol Lab creates space for intimate concerts and creative gatherings, and GÖN House of Healing invites guests to devote time to well-being. Guga is the main culinary event, with dishes inspired by Italian cuisine that fuse with the flavours of Argentine and Uruguayan grills. On the rooftop, the pool and bar offer a different perspective of the Madrid cityscape. Nobu Hotel Madrid Similarly located in Madrid, Nobu sits in a former office building on Calle de Alcalá, between Plaza de Cibeles and Puerta del Sol. Its 50 rooms and suites offer a peaceful escape within the urban environment, while four gastronomic spaces connect the hotel with those who live in or are visiting the capital. The Nobu restaurant introduces Nobu Matsuhisa’s Japanese cuisine with Peruvian influences to the capital city, adding Spanish ingredients to the brand's concept; the cocktail bar features a music programme and the hotel rooftop presents fantastic views of Calle de Alcalá and the Metropolis building. On the ground floor, the lobby lounge is open to guests and visitors.
