Meliá signs second hotel in Shanghai

Leading Spanish hotel group Meliá Hotels International (Meliá) has announced the signing of Meliá Shanghai Parkside, a new property located within the core area of Shanghai International Tourism and Resorts Zone.

The hotel will be the group’s ninth property in China and second in Shanghai, further underscoring Meliá’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the country.

The new Meliá Shanghai Parkside, developed by Shanghai Shendi Garden Investment & Construction Ltd., a full subsidiary of Shanghai Shendi Group Co., Ltd., aims to tap into the fast growing demand for travel accommodation and F&B facilities from business and leisure tourists to this booming area in Shanghai.
