Melià, one of the biggest European hotel chains, is to open a new luxury hotel in Paris-La-Défense, with the consequent creation of 100 new jobs. The opening is scheduled for February 2015. This 4 star hotel has 369 rooms. The group organised a recruitment day in the city hall of Puteaux to hire employees for several positions (cooks, waiters, technicians etc).
The Spanish hotel chain has around 38,000 employees worldwide (in December 2013).
