LONDON - April 2, 2014- Meliá Hotels International announces that Markella Votsi has been appointed Director of Sales and Marketing for ME London, the ME by Meliá brand's flagship, five-star property known for cutting-edge design. In her new role, Votsi is responsible for developing, managing and monitoring the execution of the sales strategy to maximize both revenue and occupancy levels , to keep the hotel at the forefront of its competition.

Prior to joining ME London, Votsi was the Director of Sales for the Millennium Gloucester & Bailey's Hotels where she increased corporate rates, doubled the volume of residential meetings and developed a new high-end business and leisure base. Previously she was the Director of Business Sales for Hilton Worldwide in London and before that, was the Assistant Director of Sales at The Langham Hotel in London.

“We are thrilled to welcome Markella Votsi to ME London,” stated Fabio Gallo, ME London's General Manager. “Her extensive experience in sales in the hospitality industry makes her an ideal candidate for the position, and we expect great success for the hotel through her creativity and results-driven approach.”

ME by Meliá is a contemporary interpretation of the Meliá experience. It is a brand which seeks to fuse innovative style with local flavors in order to captivate travelers of a common psychographic - those with a decisive taste for cutting-edge art and design, international cuisine and world music - rather than a common demographic. By capturing these elements in urban and resort destinations, this new philosophy ignites a passion in each guest while appealing to their senses and emotions. The experience is unforgettable. There are currently ME hotels in London, Madrid, Cancun and Cabo with ME Mallorca (May 2014), ME Ibiza (June 2014), ME Milan (2015), and Zaha Hadid's ME Dubai (2016) to follow.
