Torre Melina, a Gran Meliá Hotel
Barcelona, Spain · Gran Meliá · Accessible Luxury
Torre Melina Gran Meliá occupies the 16-story tower architect Carles Ferrater designed for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, originally opened as the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I days before the Games and honored with Spain's National Architecture Award that year. Fairmont ran it from 2014 until a 2020 closure, and Meliá spent roughly 40 million euros renovating the 391-room property before reopening it in January 2024 as Torre Melina, a name borrowed from a medieval farmhouse once standing on its 25,000-square-meter grounds in Pedralbes.

About Torre Melina, a Gran Meliá Hotel
- Architects Carles Ferrater and Josep Maria Cartañá won Spain's National Architecture Award in 1992 for the tower that is now Torre Melina.
- The hotel operated as Fairmont's first Spanish property from 2014 until it closed in 2020 amid financial losses.
- Meliá renamed it Torre Melina after a 12th-century farmhouse that once stood on the same grounds, deliberately dropping the old Rey Juan Carlos I name tied to the discredited former king.
- Its 25,000-square-meter gardens include a private lake, and the hotel connects directly to the Palau de Congressos de Catalunya next door.
- Entry-level rooms start at 322 sq ft (30 m²).
