Meliá Hotels International is expanding its presence in Italy with the upcoming opening of Meliá Venezia Lido in June 2025. This new addition is part of the brand’s ongoing growth in the country, where it currently operates eight hotels and has six more in development.

The Meliá Venezia Lido will be located in Lido di Venezia, one of the barrier islands of Venice, offering a setting with convenient access to the city’s historic landmarks, while it is 20 minutes by ferry from Piazza San Marco.

“the Mediterranean continues to be one of the main areas of growth for Meliá. We are therefore pleased to be able to partner with local groups such as SoGes Group Spa, also exploring new avenues of collaboration, in order to bring our brands to the destinations where we want to be present. We are confident that under our umbrella and that of one of our most powerful brands, and together with the hotel management experience of SoGes Group Spa, Meliá Venezia Lido will be a great success.”- Gabriel Escarrer Jaume, President and CEO of Meliá Hotels International

The hotel is housed in a 1920s building, which is currently undergoing renovations to align with Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand standards. The 60-room property will feature a combination of contemporary design and functionality, creating a environment for both leisure and business travelers. Additionally, guests will have access to an on-site restaurant and bar offering a selection of local and international cuisine.

“I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Meliá Hotels International for having decided to start this important collaboration with us. We are delighted to have such a renowned partner and we look to the future with great confidence, hoping that we can expand this collaboration with which I am sure we have started a long and fruitful series of joint projects.” - Paolo Galardi, President of SOGES Group

Meliá Venezia Lido will be operated by SoGes Group Spa, while the hotel will also receive support from the Spanish group in areas such as distribution and loyalty programs to enhance the guest experience.

The launch of Meliá Venezia Lido is part of Meliá Hotels International’s broader expansion in Italy. With several new properties under development, the group continues to strengthen its presence in the region.
