02The programme
The doors it opens.
Bravos is the programme Meliá keeps for the travel advisors it works most closely with, and through it the Gran Meliá, ME and Meliá Collection addresses in our selection receive a Dip Needle guest as a preferred one. The stay begins with breakfast for two, taken at the Spanish hour, and carries a hotel credit for the rooftop, the garden restaurant or the spa, with late check-out to protect the last morning of the holiday. A Spanish hotel is meant to be lived in rather than merely returned to, which is why the proposal weighs the room’s living space and terrace, the season and the hours the pool keeps as carefully as it weighs the rate.
Privileges apply to eligible bookings and vary by hotel and rate; upgrades and check-in and check-out times are subject to availability.
03Privileges
What a preferred booking brings.
- 01
Breakfast for two, every morning
Breakfast at the Spanish hour, with no one minding if that turns out to be late.

A hotel credit to spend
A credit for the rooftop bar, the garden table or the spa, as the day suggests.
- 03
A room above your booking
The next category up, with terrace and living space weighed ahead of square metres.
- 04
An earlier arrival
The room ready early, so the first afternoon is spent in the city, not the lobby.
- 05
A later departure
A last morning kept for the pool or the garden before the drive to the airport.
- 06
Known before you arrive
The house knows the occasion and the tastes of your party before you arrive.

04Behind the programme
Meliá Hotels International
Meliá is the house that took the Spanish way with a hotel into the world, and Gran Meliá is that way at its grandest: the lunch that runs into the afternoon and the belief that a hotel is somewhere to be enjoyed rather than slept in. In Madrid, Palacio de los Duques stands between Plaza de Oriente and Gran Vía with Velázquez on its mind, a garden at its feet and a rooftop looking across the domes of the royal quarter. In Rome, Villa Agrippina gives the city a garden interlude on the Gianicolo, close to the Vatican, with pale terraces and a summer pool.
Palazzo Cordusio in Milan and Hotel Fénix in Madrid keep the same composure; Gran Meliá Iguazú and the Ngorongoro Lodge carry it to the falls and the crater rim; ME Dubai and ME Cabo give it a contemporary edge. What runs through all of them is a house that never confuses grandeur with stiffness and likes to see a guest enjoying themselves.

05Booking
From enquiry to arrival
- 01
City, resort or both
Tell us whether the trip is a city taken at Spanish pace, a resort with the days left open or one followed by the other, with your dates and company. Madrid and Iguazú are planned as different pleasures.
- 02
The address, matched
We compare the addresses that fit, from the palace rooms of Madrid to a garden suite in Rome, with the Bravos rate and its privileges, and set them in one written proposal beside the terms.
- 03
Reserved through Bravos
On your approval we place the reservation through Bravos, and the hotel hears from us what matters: the occasion, the terrace you hoped for, the hour you will arrive and whether dinner should be late.
- 04
Keep the Spanish hours
Confirmation and arrival details follow before departure, and after that the day keeps Spanish hours: breakfast when you wake, lunch that outlasts the afternoon and an evening that starts when the city does.
