Meliá Hotels Rolls Out Cashless Payment Pilot Project
Meliá Hotels International has rolled out a cashless payment system at two of its properties in Magaluf, Spain. The pilot project, which only went live in May, provides guests with a RIFD bracelet on arrival, which acts both as room key and digital wallet throughout their stay.

“At Meliá Hotels International we imagined a new type of vacation in which guests could enjoy all of our hotel services without having to worry about carrying around cash or ID,” says Gabriel Escarrer, vice president and CEO of Meliá Hotels International.
