The Gran Meliá Ghoo is a partially-completed five-star hotel in a mixed-use development in Salman Shahr, Iran, on the shore of the Caspian Sea. Announced in 2016, the hotel was to be housed in a 150 meter tower, adjacent to two towers of residential apartments, above a large retail mall.
The hotel was to contain 319 guest rooms, seven restaurants and bars, two swimming pools, and a spa. The hotel was a project of the Spain-based Meliá Hotels International, and was to be the first foreign-branded hotel in Iran since the Revolution [1][2]
Other developments
In addition to the incomplete hotel, the complex contains two buildings with residential apartments, and a completed retail mall.[3][4]
It would have been the largest mixed development structure in Iran when completed.[5]
