Under new management: the luxury brand "Meliá Hotels International" takes over the six "MiM Hotels" of the Argentinian soccer star in Spain and Andorra.
The Spanish hotel group "Meliá Hotels International" is strengthening its luxury portfolio; from November 1, 2025, it will take over the management of "MiM Hotels", the boutique hotel brand of soccer legend Lionel Messi. In future, the six hotels will be managed under the exclusive brand "The Meliá Collection", which stands for individual, characterful hotels with local flair.
The "MiM Hotels" portfolio currently comprises six boutique hotels in some of Spain's most attractive destinations - including Sitges, Sotogrande, Mallorca, Ibiza and Baqueira Beret - as well as in Andorra. With their mix of individual design, local identity and tailor-made service, the hotels fit seamlessly into the "Meliá Collection" concept and will be operated by "Meliá Hotels International" in future under a lease agreement.
Gabriel Escarrer, Chairman and CEO of "Meliá Hotels International", sees the partnership as a milestone:
Our brands share a common philosophy and a compelling value proposition for discerning travelers - inspired by a global icon like Lionel Messi and supported by the expertise of a leading hotel group like Meliá.
Each hotel bears Messi's personal signature: from the "Messi Suite" and selected memorabilia to a signed replica of the Ballon d'Or. The "MiM Hotels" are characterized by modern, sophisticated design, created by renowned interior designers such as Luis Bustamante and Lázaro Rosa-Violán. In addition to a privileged location, all houses focus on sustainability and well-being as central elements of their concept.
A particular highlight is the culinary offer, presented by star chef Nandu Jubany, who combines local ingredients with Argentinian influences in selected destinations - including Baqueira, Andorra and Sotogrande. His interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine with a South American twist is based on his successful restaurant concept "HINCHA".
Wellness plays a key role in all "MiM Hotels". Guests can expect a comprehensive spa experience with hydrotherapy circuits, individual treatments and relaxation zones designed for holistic relaxation. Depending on the location, outdoor activities such as golf, skiing or hiking are also on offer - particularly in Sotogrande, Baqueira Beret and Andorra.
The hotels in the portfolio stand for versatility: while "MiM Mallorca", "MiM Sitges" and "MiM Ibiza" are positioned as adults-only hotels, the locations in Andorra, Sotogrande and Baqueira Beret are also aimed at families. Several hotels have function rooms for smaller meetings and events.
