Rafael Nadal set to launch new venture as retirement approaches, opens first hotel in Mexico under new brand
ATPFriday, 04 August 2023 at 04:00
Tennis legend Rafael Nadal is expanding his business ventures, as the Spaniard plans to open a branch of his hotel brand, Zel, in Mexico.
The former World No.1 founded Zel in December 2022, marking his first step into the world of hospitality. After opening it's first location in Mallorca, Spain on July 1, 2023, the brand plans to expand and open a second location in Mexico in 2025.
Zel aims to introduce Mediterranean culture to Mexican beaches
The hotel will be located in Sayulita, a town on the Mexican Pacific coast, and will be known as 'The Zel Sayulita'. It will feature 145 luxurious rooms built around a large central patio and restaurants.
A patio is a staple of Zel Hotels, and architect Alvaro Sans told Architectural Digest this was essential to representing the Mediterranean lifestyle and offering a space for socializing.

- FYI: The term 'snub' is a much overused verb by writers of sensationalist rags. [SNUB: rebuff, ignore, or spurn disdainfully]. That is not the definition of what is going on with frequent withdrawals from tournaments.
mandoist16-09-2024 - No offence, Mr. Lloyd, but where have you been the past two years?? How long have you been a tennis fan? This 'article' may be informative for newbies or fair-weather tennis observers but the majority of fans know the root of the multiple issues within WTA. The #1 issue being the subject of health & well-being which has been (or has attempted to be) addressed with the WTA Elitist council members last season. WTA was extremely dismissive of players' concerns and opposed to such a meeting. Eventually giving-in due to publicity and allowed selective players only -- no rep's, no medical personnel, and no team members. The meeting was a farce as WTA soon after that released an even more hectic schedule... with mandatory tourneys! Guess they weren't taking notes?? BTW: There is a lot missing from this piece concerning "withdrawals". No writer has yet taken the jump to get behind the scenes and dig at the problems -- obvious organizational problems. IMO, the top two issues are WTA's lack of proper attention to health & well-being of its Money-Makers; and Financial Greed. Tip to Mr. Lloyd: there is no "snubbing" when these players withdraw. These women have to take such measures as withdrawing from a tourney, and occasional time-off from the circuit, to protect themselves -- because WTA refuses to take any measures at all (although not allowing matches until sunrise is a start). Surely you can do better than point fingers at players. The finger-pointing should be directed entirely at WTA (and ATP). Be a true journalist, Mr. Lloyd, and research them!!mandoist16-09-2024
- Uh-oh.... Now Raducanu is being forced to compete! Let's see who withdraws next... I wonder??mandoist15-09-2024
