Meliá Hotels International plans to operate five Innside by Meliá hotels in Venezuela in collaboration with developer and investor Franco Biocchi Zurita.
Scheduled to open in 2016, the first of these hotels will be the Innside Punto Fijo Hotel in the state of Falcón. The property will house 116 rooms on 12 floors, a restaurant, bar, gym, and rooms for meetings and events. It will be located alongside a modern office building and commercial premises.
“This framework agreement is a major landmark in the consolidation of the Innside brand as a market leader for urban hotels in cities with strong growth and development potential in Latin America, while also strengthening our strategic alliance with Franco Biocchi to develop extraordinary and successful hotel projects in Venezuela,” says vice president and CEO of Meliá Hotels International, Gabriel Escarrer.
“Meliá is an excellent option for investors given its very strong values, solvency, management excellence, and ability to maximize service quality and the customer experience while also optimizing the return on our investment,” adds Biocchi Zurita. “Innside hotels are undoubtedly the finest example of the modern, sophisticated, and profitable type of hotel we wish to own.”
