FEBRUARY 7, 2007. Sol Meli'a and Mexico-based Grupo Questro are relaunching Meli'a Cabo San Lucas as the new ME Cabo, making it the third property within the ME by Meli'a portfolio of hotels and the second of the new brand's experience-based 'personality hotels' in Mexico.

Having completed a multi-million dollar renovation earlier this year, the property is already the most fashionable hotel in one of the most captivating destinations in Mexico. Under the new brand, Sol Meli'a also brings its signature Yhi Spa brand to Cabo San Lucas. As ME Cabo, the hotel becomes part of a select group of seductive, urban and resort destination hotels under the ME by Meli'a umbrella that will combine an intimate style of warmth and Latin flair while delivering experiences that are an extension of the guests' individual life-rhythms.

Nestled on the sands of Playa el M'edano the property is situated on the only swimmable beach in Cabo San Lucas as it's protected against the strong currents of Mar de Cortes. Within a short walking distance of downtown restaurants and shops, ME Cabo is set to captivate travelers who have a taste for stimulating art, international cuisine, and world music. Designed for the discerning guest , ME Cabo will fuse innovative design with local flavors that encourage guests to move seamlessly within the surroundings, transforming them from their daily routines into an inspirational existence that is indulgent...energizing...and daring.

Guests will enjoy a balanced stay, where a busy day is complemented by ME by Meli'a's signature Yhi Spa - the first in Cabo San Lucas. This marks the second Yhi Spa to open at a ME property having made its debut at ME Canc'un last month. Inspired by ancient healing traditions, the 7,036-sqft boutique spa will include world-class Fitness, Hydrotherapy and Relaxation Centers. The Fitness Center will feature free-weights, machines and cardiovascular equipment, a YHI MOVES Studio complete with an outdoor movement garden and special group Yoga, Tai Chi and Pilates classes. A Hydrotherapy Ritual Center features indoor/outdoor relaxation areas (YHI RELAX), thermo-hydrotherapy experiences, a native Temascal sweat lodge and an outdoor cascade shower, while the Relaxation Center will offer reflexology paths and a complete selection of signature spa treatments.

"ME Cabo is one of our most exciting projects to date and we are thrilled to be bringing the second Yhi Spa to Mexico," says Guy Hensley, Senior Vice President of Operations of ME by Meli'a. "Cabo San Lucas is a place of passion and warmth and our new hotel and spa are extensions of the rich heritage and stunning beauty of this location."

A lively atmosphere fills the hotel, but the hotels' 150 rooms and suites, which have been created by Rebeca Perez of Interarq in collaboration with architect 'Alvaro Sans, are pure serenity.

"After the successful opening of our ME product in Cancun, the opening of ME Cabo continues to affirm Sol Meli'a's commitment to invest in this dynamic region of the world," says Sebastian Escarrer, Vice-President and CEO of Sol Meli'a Hotels & Resorts. "This expansion further demonstrates Sol Meli'a's desire to open this area to today's more evolved travelers with a product that exceeds their tough demands."

From virtually all of the terraces and balconies, one can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the southern-most rocky tip of Baja California, famously known as Land's End, and the Sea of Cortes.
