Art + Tech Rooms at Le Méridien

At the heart of our recently announced development program is the introduction of a dramatically different style of hotel bedroom, the Art + Tech room, designed to offer today's increasingly sophisticated traveler the ultimate in innovative luxury...

Concept

• The creation of a space that will not only provide luxury accommodation but an environment that will engage, surprise and intrigue Le Méridien's guests.
• Using a neutral backdrop, color is used dramatically either in painted wall panels, soft furnishing or by the addition of colored gels to light fittings.
• Furniture is designed and detailed using a minimal palette of materials, pale maple, satin stainless steel and glass (clear, frosted and etched). Surfaces are kept clear wherever possible providing a minimalist, clutter-free feel.

Art + Tech

• Backlit photographs, commissioned for Le Méridien, are set into sections of timber panelling and an inset showcase within the console table displays other elements of art within the room.
• These elements are designed specifically for each hotel, taking inspiration from the individual building, the locality or nearby galleries or museums and their collections. Being unique to each hotel site allows the concept to evolve and change and ensures that every hotel maintains its individuality.
• The headboard of the bed represents one of the strongest visual elements in the room, featuring an edge-lit handcrafted etched glass panel. Headboards are placed either back to the wall or into the room acting as a divider and providing a view of the room, which for smaller rooms gives a real sense of space.
• The Art + Tech room concept is underpinned by the use of technology and meticulous detailing.
• The wall-mounted Phillips 42-inch plasma-screen TV houses the in-room entertainment system, providing video and music on demand, as well as hotel information (including on-line billing).
• High-speed Internet access is provided via the plasma screen, an ISDN line or "plug and play" modem point.
• Lighting is divided into a number of circuits and electronically controlled to create a series of different moods. A combination of halogen and traditional lighting, together with feature lighting on the headboard, image light boxes and showcase lighting re-enforce the palette of materials used throughout the room.

Sleeping

• All rooms provide the ultimate sleep experience. Specially engineered beds and mattresses, combined with crisp white cotton duvets and a choice of feather or anti-allergenic pillows, are provided.

Bathrooms

• The Art + Tech bathrooms are either shower rooms with freestanding shower tower incorporating shower and body jets with glass screens, or bathrooms where a large steel bath with a circular end allows a comfortable standing area for showering.
• In some rooms, where space allows, there are Victorian-style roll-top baths with drencher hose and rain bars.
• An etched glass wash hand basin sits on a limestone top wash table to match the finish of the limestone flooring.

Other Features

• Hermes soap and specially-commissioned toiletries.
• Climate-controlled air-conditioning.
• Mini-bar fridge.
• Frosted-glass covered wardrobe incorporating in-room safe and tea/ coffee-making facilities.
• Trouser press, ironing-board and hairdryer all hidden behind full length mirror.
