El concepto El que durante casi dos décadas fue el Sheraton Iguazú Resort fue vendido en agosto de 2017, por US$55 millones, a un grupo inversor de Emiratos Árabes Unidos encabezado por el jeque Alí Albwardy. El hotel dejó la marca Starwood/Marriott el 29 de septiembre de 2017 y pasó a operar como Meliá Iguazú; tras una renovación de US$20 millones para adaptar sus 183 habitaciones y áreas comunes a los estándares de la cadena española, fue rebautizado Gran Meliá Iguazú en diciembre de 2018. Su ubicación es su ventaja estructural: es el único hotel construido dentro del propio Parque Nacional Iguazú, una condición que ningún proyecto nuevo (ni Awasi, ni Entre Árboles, ni el futuro Four Points) puede replicar por restricciones de uso de suelo del área protegida.
Gastronomía y bienestar El hotel reúne tres restaurantes de cocina internacional, spa con circuito de hidroterapia y sauna, dos piscinas al aire libre y clases de yoga.
Nuestra opinión El cambio de marca del Gran Meliá Iguazú es un recordatorio útil de que, en Puerto Iguazú, "hotel nuevo" no siempre significa construcción nueva: puede significar, simplemente, que el único hotel con acceso directo al parque nacional cambió de dueño y de cadena. La ventaja de ubicación del Gran Meliá es insuperable por diseño regulatorio, pero eso mismo lo vuelve un caso aparte del resto de la oferta de lujo iguazuense, que compite por cercanía a la selva o a la Ruta 12, no por estar literalmente dentro del parque.

We had an excellent experience at the Meliá Iguazú Hotel. Staying inside the National Park is an incredible advantage for anyone visiting the waterfalls. It allows you to enter the park early in the morning, before the crowds arrive, and enjoy a peaceful walk while admiring one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The rooms are very comfortable, spotless, and maintained to an exceptionally high standard. The level of cleanliness throughout the hotel is outstanding.
What truly made our stay special was the kindness and professionalism of the staff. Everyone was genuinely welcoming and always willing to help.
We keep a kosher diet, and the hotel staff was very understanding and accommodating. They kindly allowed us to store all the food we brought in both their refrigerator and freezer, which made our stay so much easier and more comfortable.
We also enjoyed massages at the spa, and they were excellent—very professional and absolutely worth it. The spa itself is beautiful, peaceful, and offers breathtaking views of the waterfalls, making the whole experience even more relaxing.
We highly recommend this hotel and would be delighted to stay here again in the future.
We had the best stay at Gran Melia. We chose a room with a view of the falls on the second floor and it was worth it! Walking up to the view of the falls was very memorable. Rooms were nice, clean and bright. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. We also enjoyed the activities such as tango show, painting class, wine tasting class and yoga during our 3-night stay. Best part is that you walk out of the hotel and you are within short walk to the Iguazu Falls trails. We walked the trails twice during our stay and had savored the amazing view more the second time. The Concierge was very helpful with arranging transportation to the Brazil side. We also enjoyed the gym and the spa for a facial and the hot tub treatment; and our friends used the tennis court.
We stayed in June, which is low season. The pool is beautiful but unheated so we couldn’t use. Other than breakfast, the lunches and dinners were good but not great.
Rooms need to be renovated. Like most luxury hotels in Argentina, the management doesn't care about maintenance, and is running down the the buildings and facilities. Restaurant is average and extremely overprized, expect prices like in upscale restaurants in Zürich!
And now, the best: at 0:15am, they have an old stinking, very loud truck coming into the compound and pumping water into their storage, directly beneath the rooms for which you pay $800 a night! And look at this backyard! This is the view they give you for $800!
Such an amazing stay! The view is beautiful and it is so easy to access the park. We bought one entry ticket and were able to see the falls all three days. The food is great and the staff are wonderful. They create a beautiful and relaxing experience. I would highly recommend the cocktail class. It is free and you get to learn about the drinks that are popular in both Brazil and Argentina, as well as getting many drinks as part of the class. Special shoutout to Luciano, Andrea and Yanaina they were so kind and very knowledgeable about the drinks we made. We had the best time participating in the class:) Such an amazing weekend, I hope to come back one day!
Gran Meliá Iguazú is an outstanding hotel and easily one of the best places to stay in Argentina. The service is excellent throughout—everyone, from the pool staff and restaurant team to reception and taxi service, was consistently friendly, efficient, and attentive.
The facilities are fantastic, and the setting is simply unbeatable. The views of the falls are incredible, and the infinity pool feels like a real luxury experience. Being within walking distance of the falls' trails and train is a major advantage.
Regarding the monkeys, the hotel provides clear explanations at check-in and when you are escorted to your room, along with signs on doors and balconies. This is part of the natural surroundings, and guests are well informed on how to avoid any issues.
There is also a spa and gym, which adds to the overall relaxing experience. A beautiful place to unwind—definitely worth the price and I would happily stay again.
