Meliá expands its footprint in Latin America

... an iconic property with a strong reputation - allows us to continue growing with trusted local partners and offer our guests unique experiences in destinations with a distinct identity," said Gabriel Escarrer, President and CEO of Meliá Hotels International.

Meliá Hotels International continues to advance its growth strategy in Latin America, particularly in key destinations across Argentina, with the signing of a new hotel in the city of Salta. The current Hotel Alejandro I, one of the city's most iconic establishments, will join the portfolio of Affiliated by Meliá hotels.

Committed to destinations with strong tourism and cultural potential, Meliá Hotels International will welcome Hotel Alejandro I Affiliated by Meliá to its expanding presence in Argentina this coming October. Located in the heart of Salta, in the country's northwest region, the hotel is just steps away from Plaza 9 de Julio, Salta Cathedral, and other major landmarks in the historic center.

Hotel Alejandro I Affiliated by Meliá features 167 rooms and a comprehensive range of facilities, including a restaurant, bar, spa, gym, MICE spaces, and parking. Its prime location in a city renowned for its colonial architecture, vibrant cultural life, and privileged natural surroundings makes it the ideal choice for travelers seeking unique experiences.

Operating under a franchise model, the hotel is located just 10 kilometers from Martín Miguel de Güemes International Airport, which connects Salta to major cities in Argentina and international destinations such as São Paulo, Lima, Asunción, and Panama (the latter starting in September). This connectivity enhances its appeal for both leisure and MICE tourism.

“Argentina is a country with immense tourism and cultural appeal, and Salta stands out as one of its most authentic and promising destinations. The addition of Hotel Alejandro I to our portfolio—an iconic property with a strong reputation—allows us to continue growing with trusted local partners and offer our guests unique experiences in destinations with a distinct identity," said Gabriel Escarrer, President and CEO of Meliá Hotels International.

With this new addition, Meliá Hotels International continues to move forward in its global expansion strategy and reaffirms its commitment to the sustainable development of tourism in Latin America. The group currently operates five hotels in Argentina and, with this new project, has four more in the pipeline.​.. Read more here (paying members only) / Become member here

Small Tip To Landing Good Senior-Level Hotel Management Positions in 2025 - 2026

Many of our members have remained with us since the inception of our job lead service seven years ago. They continue to renew their memberships, staying on board even after securing new positions, and for good reason.

Daily, our editors dispatch bulletins detailing new job vacancies, projects, and industry shifts, including hotel launches, expansions, strategies, and market trends.

We recognize that numerous long-standing, senior-level members utilize these bulletins as conversation starters, reaching out to hotel chains and potential employers, sometimes with unsolicited applications and messages. LHN endorses such proactive engagement. It's an excellent, informal method to gain early interest from prominent hotel groups and upcoming projects, indicating your interest and broadening your opportunities for intriguing interviews or discussions about potential roles, particularly at the upper echelons of management.

Our editors also keep these proactive efforts in mind, shaping many bulletins to cover "new openings, new projects, and new market developments."

While membership spots for 2025 I 2026 are limited, it's not too late to renew.- Read more her
