ME by Meliá will officially launch its flagship hotel, ME London, on 1 March 2013 – a design-led, lifestyle hotel located at the centre of the capital’s diverse art and culture district in Marconi House, the original London home of BBC radio.
The hotel is the first UK hotel project for international and award-winning architectural practice Foster + Partners and the first for which they have designed all the interiors and exteriors.
The property has 157 guest rooms, including 16 suites and ultra-luxurious Suite ME, a two-storey penthouse located in the turret of the building. All have sumptuous bedding, bathrooms with spa-like rain showers and premium amenities, as well as access to the hotel’s integrated digital media hub.
The interiors fuse contemporary detailing and classic traditions, with a dramatic monochrome palette, as guests move from dark to light spaces.
Exceptional dining is located within the hotel including Radio roof top bar, offering a stunning panoramic view of London; STK steakhouse and grill who are celebrated for their lively vibe; Cucina Asellina for a contemporary take on rustic Italian food; and the Marconi Lounge, an ideal meeting place, open all day.
The hotel also has an on-site fitness centre and offers in room relaxation and spa treatments.
ME by Meliá is for cultured, fashionable guests who are driven by new experiences and opportunities. The brand has been built on first-rate service, and ME London will be no exception. Each guest’s stay will be orchestrated by the dedicated Aura Manager, whose job it is to know the city back-to-front and use this knowledge to make the hotel’s service truly bespoke.
Room rates start at £340 per night plus VAT
