Meliá Paris La Défense opens its doors
Meliá Hotels International boosts its brand portfolio with the opening of the city’s largest four star hotel in ten years
Meliá Hotels International is set to open its latest lifestyle hotel, in March 2015, located in the heart of Paris' vibrant business district. With spectacular panoramic views of the city and its key landmarks, Meliá Paris La Défense is the French capital's largest four star hotel to open in ten years.
Created by Vasconi Architects in partnership with renowned French interior designer Jean-Phillipe Nuel, Meliá Paris La Défense has been uniquely designed in the shape of the sail of a boat. Jean-Phillipe Nuel was the brainchild behind the high-profile revamp of Paris' iconic Molitor Swimming Pool.
The new built property boasts 369 guest rooms, including 29 suites, which are distributed across 18 floors. Each room has superior-quality linen, an en-suite bathroom with a rain shower and premium amenities, as well as a flat-screen satellite TV.

Located on the 19th floor and set against the city's magnificent backdrop, the Skyline Paris Lounge & Bar provides an extensive cocktail list, tapas and appetizers, as well as live music and DJs. The hotel has two restaurants:
Le Miroir restaurant has an impressive view of the Esplanade water mirror fountain and Greek artist Takis' 'Bright Trees' installation, with an authentic menu which is a delicate fusion of Spanish tradition and international cuisines.
Set on the ground floor, The Place lobby bar & lounge is an everyday restaurant and deli with an outdoor terrace, where guests and local business people can eat in or takeaway.
"The Level"
Meliá Paris La Défense offers an exclusive 'THE LEVEL' service, with a private lounge, which includes quick check-in. As part of the membership, guests can enjoy a full buffet breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails in the evening.
Business Meetings
The hotel also caters for meetings and business events, offering 850 square metres of flexible event space and eight conference rooms, which can accommodate up to 400 people. Each meeting room offers Wi-Fi and high-tech audio-visual equipment in a luxurious setting.
