Melia Hotels International has announced the new Meliá Maputo Hotel, the first for Meliá Hotels International in Mozambique, extending the Meliá Hotels International’s presence in Africa where it now operates 11 hotels. The property is scheduled to open in Q2 2018, and is a new build by Meliá Hotels International.

The hotel is in the centre of Mozambique’s capital Maputo, 10 minutes from the train station and 20 minutes from the international airport.

The Meliá Maputo Hotel will offer 171 rooms and suites, as well as facilities for meetings and events including two event rooms and an auditorium for up to 150 people. The hotel will also include a restaurant and a coffee bar.

Maputo has increased in popularity as a tourist destination within recent years, as the city is the country’s business capital whilst also appealing to leisure travellers. With its Mediterranean-style architecture, seaside location and large avenues such as the Avenida Marginal, it is one of the most attractive capital cities in Africa. Visitors can find great dining, shopping and leisure facilities in the city as well as a broad range of cultural attractions.
