 Sol Melia Takes Over Its First Hotel in Malta: The Sol Suncrest

20 Nov 2001 - On Thursday 8th. November 2001, the first Sol Meliá hotel in Malta, the Sol Suncrest was officially inaugurated. The event was hosted by the hotel owner, Angelo Xuereb and attended by the Executive Vice President of the Sol Meliá European Division, Andrés Encinas and is the result of a management agreement signed in June this year between the Spanish hotel company and Suncrest Hotels p.l.c, a subsidiary of AX Holdings.
 
According to Andrés Encinas, �the incorporation of the Sol Suncrest in Malta makes it ten countries in the Mediterranean in which we now provide hotels: Croatia, France, Egypt, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Spain, Turkey and Tunisia�, adding that, �the Sol Suncrest joins the other two projects that we have already signed for Malta, and more than 30 additional hotels we have scheduled to open in the Mediterranean over the next two years. This will help us to maintain our dominance of the hotel business in the Mediterranean region while also consolidating our position as the leading resort hotel company in the world�.
 

Angelo Xeureb, Chairman of AX Holdings  hands over symbolically the �Key of the Building� to Andres Encinas, Vice President Operation Sol Melia. The Minister of Tourism, Hon Dr. Michael Refaelo is applauding the gesture.
Encinas also highlighted that, �one of the advantages of the Sol Suncrest, apart from the fact that it has been a public company since 1997, is that it is already operating in a mature market and has thus been relatively easy to integrate within the company in a very short timeframe, allowing the hotel to reap the benefits of our sales organization and management know-how from day one�.

The Sol Suncrest Hotel enjoys a strategic location in Qawra in the north of Malta. It is a modern hotel located right alongside the sea and with a spectacular view over the Mediterranean. Qawra provides excellent facilities for tourism and is an ideal destination for resting for a few days or for incentive trips or business conferences, never far from wonderful sandy beaches, archaeological treasures and historical monuments.
