Meliá Hotels International, the leading Spanish hotel company with more than 370 hotels worldwide, announced today the signing of Meliá Melaka, a new property located in the heart of Melaka, Malaysia. This marks the group’s fourth property in Malaysia, and its first entry into Melaka. The new agreement expands Meliá’s footprint in Malaysia, satisfying its guests’ diverse demands, ranging from cultural visits, medical tourism and investment opportunities for both local and international market.
Managed by the Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, and owned by Haleton Group, a multi-award winner and a leader in Malaysia’s property development, investment and asset management industry, the hotel is scheduled to open in 2020.
As one of the largest mega-corporations in the region, Haleton Group has successfully integrated core businesses in project development and construction, commercial and asset management, retail leasing and hospitality divisions. The group firmly stands by its values of reliability, commitment and long-term relationships in order to maintain its legacy as the most trusted quality brand and has been the trendsetter for unique concepts. “We are confident that Melia Hotels International will contribute a tremendous boost to the tourism industry of Melaka while elevating the City to greater heights with their Spanish heritage and world-renowned hospitality standards,” said Ken Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Haleton Developments Sdn Bhd.

Enlisted as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and with wealth of history, legacy and vestiges, Melaka is well-connected to a network of major highways, easily accessible from major cities with a comfortable travel distance of 1.5 hours from Kuala Lumpur and 2.5 hours from Singapore. This city, with an illustrious heritage, will be made more accessible with the introduction of daily flights from Guangzhou, southern China.
Melaka is a popular weekend retreat destination for Singaporeans and Indonesians. Modern Melaka, building on its legacy as one of the region’s premier trading ports, is also increasingly attracting the attention of savvy investors from both local and international markets.
Meliá Melaka is located at the heart of the city, as part of Haleton City, a large scale project that smartly blends six unique themed developments, comprising of retails, residences, international hotels, office tower, resort and shoplex. The hotel is within 30-minute drive from Melaka International airport, and a short walk from renowned UNESCO heritage sites, such as St. John’s Fort, Jonker Walk, St. Paul’s Hill, Melaka River Cruise, Portuguese Square, Baba Nyonya Heritage Museum, Menara Taming Sari, and Stadthuys.
