ME hotels coming to London

Sol Meliá, whose current sole UK hotel is the highly acclaimed White House close by Regents Park, is to open a ME "experience-based" property in London.  Sited near Covent Garden the property is expected to open just before the 2012 Olympic Games.  The 173-room property will feature two destination restaurants and bars at ground level, as well as a convention centre with 7,857 sq ft of available space.

Taking over a prestigious site at the junction of The Strand and Aldwych, previously the City Bank building, ME London will be designed as a cutting-edge, contemporary hotel by Sir Norman Foster.  The 173-room property will feature two destination restaurants and bars at ground level, as well as a convention centre.

Gabriel Escarrer Jaume, the Vice Chairman and CEO of Sol Meliá Hotels and Resorts notes: "With ME Vienna's recent announcement, we are excited about the rapid expansion of the ME Hotels brand.  A flag in one of the travel industry's most important feeder markets will not only strengthen ME's European presence, but will also bring unforgettable experiences to travellers from all over the world." www.me-by-melia.com
