PB hotel design editorial

Norman Foster's curved Portland stone facade at the junction of the Strand and Aldwych is one of central London's more quietly authoritative pieces of urban architecture — a building whose elliptical corner tower and rigorously gridded fenestration have anchored this busy intersection since 2004. ME London, which took over the building in 2012 following a conversion by the Meliá Hotels group, inherited that civic confidence and pressed it into the service of a rather different ambition: a design-forward lifestyle hotel aimed at a younger, image-conscious European market. The interiors were handed to Foster + Partners collaborator and Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, whose signature oscillation between whimsy and precision runs through the public spaces. The lobby and restaurant environments visible in the images demonstrate the range he was working across — a monochrome dining room with curved white leather banquettes, polished hardwood tables, and a spectacular curved screen of stainless steel tubes that recalls a pipe organ abstracted into pure surface, set against a dramatic black-lacquered ceiling. The all-day restaurant takes a different register entirely: teal barrel chairs, rattan pendant lights, and a floor-to-ceiling tropical mural beneath the building's arched arcade windows. Guest rooms strip back to a near-clinical white — upholstered wall panels, grey carpet, and floor-to-ceiling glazing framing London roofline views — with the building's curved geometry surfacing in the tower rooms. The hotel runs to 157 rooms across ten floors.

"The staff at ME London are exceptional. No ask is too small - from fixing small issues with our room to activating a search team when our daughter's beloved soft toy was lost and alleviating a huge amount of stress. The hotel is in a fantastic location for walking to theatres, museums, galleries, restaurants, shopping. Will stay again."

"We stayed midweek for two nights here having previously stayed in August 2018. We couldn’t find fault with it all those years ago and had a similar experience again. The room was clean, the bed was very large and comfortable, air con was much needed and the room view down onto the street below is a huge bonus if you like to people watch. The rooms are surprisingly quiet given the busy street below and also dark despite the window having double frosted sliding style shutters. The hotel has quite an adult vibe, it’s dark, sexy, very chic!! The service is incredible, all our needs were met, requests dealt with, and Roman who took us to our room then also seen us off was wonderful. He couldn’t have been more helpful, very happy and welcoming person. We enjoyed our breakfast in Lucianos this year but we did enjoy it the last time in the rooftop with the more buffet style options that you can choose yourself. The location is the best thing about the hotel. You can see so so much of London on foot from here in every direction. We covered twelve miles and seen Buckingham palace, parliament and Big Ben, Westminster abbey, the Old Bailey and St Paul’s, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Regent Street, St James Park, Covent Garden, Bloomsbury, The Royal Academy, The British Museum…..and so many more things on the way in between stopping back at the hotel to refresh and go again! The area outside has been pedestrianised since our last stay which added a great place to sit and rest our legs and people watch, lots of places to sit. It was good value for money for us. We paid extra for breakfast, for parking which is below ground and your car is taken and brought for you when you need it, they charged it for our return drive to Scotland which was greatly appreciated, and for a city view which adds a little on but we think it is worth it. The one and only thing I can really criticise is how low the toilet in the room is. If we were much older people or had back problems or were really tall people it would be an issue. Pretty sure we will be back in the future."
