Sunset Hotels & Resorts, the lifestyle hotel division of Sunset Hospitality Group (SHG), is entering a decisive phase of its global growth strategy with a robust pipeline of openings across Europe and Asia.

 

The acceleration plan is marked by the grand openings of four flagship properties: METT Barcelona in September and METT Singapore in October; followed by METT Milan in December and Casa METT Sitges in March 2026.

 

This month, SHG celebrates the debut of METT Barcelona, a landmark project involving the full restoration of the iconic Gran Hotel La Florida, one of Barcelona’s most historic hospitality assets.

 

The heritage property has been reimagined in line with the contemporary and experiential philosophy of the METT brand, bringing modern luxury together with the cultural soul of the city.

 

 In October, SHG will open METT Singapore in another emblematic setting: the transformation of the heritage-listed Hotel Fort Canning, a property with over a century of history.

 

Looking ahead, METT Milan will join the group’s portfolio in December as part of the iconic Torre Velasca redevelopment project, marking a new milestone for SHG in Italy.

 

 Further strengthening its presence in Spain, SHG is preparing to open Casa METT Sitges in early 2026, in partnership with AX Partners.

 

“Sunset Hotels & Resorts is advancing an ambitious and long-term expansion strategy that is supported by a solid financial structure and a co-investment model integrating operators, asset owners, and strategic partners,” said Jaime Buxó Clos, CEO of Sunset Hotels & Resorts. “In 2025 we are strengthening our footprint across key hubs in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. These latest openings are testament 2 to our vision of creating contemporary luxury experiences that honour heritage, local culture, and sustainability.”

 

“METT is a cornerstone in our global expansion strategy and plays a defining role in how we grow as a Group,” said Antonio Gonzalez, Chairman and Group CEO, SHG, “As we accelerate our presence across Europe and Asia, METT hotels embody the balance of lifestyle, culture, and contemporary luxury that defines Sunset Hospitality. These openings are not only milestones for the brand but also a testament to our long-term vision of becoming one of the leading global players in lifestyle hospitality.” -TradeArabia News Service
