Starwood opens Mexico City’s first Le Méridien

“The opening of Le Méridien Mexico City is part of Starwood’s aggressive expansion strategy in Latin America marking the 71st Starwood hotel in the region and the seventh in Mexico City,” said Osvaldo Librizzi, Co-President of the Americas for Starwood Hotels & Resorts. “We’re thrilled to bring Le Méridien to Mexico City, which continues to be a preferred destination for business and pleasure.”

Located in the heart of the city’s financial and cultural district, the all-suite hotel 160 features breathtaking skyline views, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, pool, restaurant and the brand’s signature Le Méridien Bed. The décor is described by Starwood as ‘timeless chic design’.

The project also features the recently-developed Le Méridien Hub™ experience, which has seen the concept of the traditional lobby transformed into a communal area where people can network and exchange ideas. Guests will be treated to the brand’s award-winning ‘arrival experience’, overseen by its Cultural Curator Jérôme Sans. The concept consists of four elements: large-scale artwork in high impact areas, a signature scent, artist-designed key cards offering access to both guestrooms and affiliated cultural centers in the city, and a 24-hour soundtrack curated by Sans.

“Since being acquired by Starwood more than six years ago, Le Méridien has undergone a comprehensive brand re-launch,” said Brian Povinelli, Global Brand Leader at Le Méridien & Westin. “The brand boasts the strongest portfolio ever in its forty year history and the debut of Le Méridien in Mexico City, which is a hub for style and creativity, marks another key milestone in our transformation.”
