After an extensive, four-year refurbishment program, the Gran Lujo Meliá Sancti Petri hotel relaunched this month (March) as the new Gran Meliá Sancti Petri.
The hotel celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and it will be the third Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts property in Andalusia and the eighth in Spain.
The property is located on the beach front of La Barrosa, Cádiz and set amongst picturesque hills, rivers and farmland bordering Spain’s southern coast in Andalusia.
Surrounded by five golf courses, Gran Meliá Sancti Petri has 227 rooms and suites, which have been refurbished along with all public spaces to take on Gran Melia’s luxurious and contemporary branding, as well as offering a range of new experiences.
Spacious rooms
Rooms are spacious and decorated in traditional Spanish style with terracotta flooring, as well as a private terrace with views overlooking the sea, the golf course, the gardens or the hotel pool area.
All rooms feature Clarins amenities and Nespresso in-room coffee machines, with the latest technology from Google Chrome Cast and Press Reader.
In keeping with Andalusian style, the property features seven fountains in the main patio and the surrounding olive trees decorate the terracotta floors.
Gran Meliá Sancti Petri is recognized as one of the most beautiful buildings in the Andalusian province. It has been inspired by the most impressive architectural jewels of Andalusia, such as the Mosque of Cordoba and the Alhambra.
