In March 2003, the new Melia Bras?lia 5* in Brasilia has opened its doors. It is the first 5* hotel in the Brasil XXI complex, strategically placed in the Monumental Axis, between the Television Tower and 50 meters from the City Park. It is also within easy reach from the commercial and financial districts, the Esplanade of Ministries and the Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (13 km). The hotel is close to a number of leisure and entertainment venues, such as bars, restaurants and only 50 m distance from a shopping mall.
