Entwining old and new, the simply irresistible Le Meridien Vienna sits at the edge of the notorious Ringstrasse, moments away from the Vienna State Opera, Imperial Hofburg Palace, Albertina, Secession and Museumsquartier. Reflecting 21st century European lifestyle, the urban chic Le Meridien Vienna maintains its chilled out essence whilst delivering ultra attentive service that welcomes sophisticated tasteful travellers. The hotel's imaginative individuality is captured in its 294 ArtTech sun-drenched rooms, adopting earth shades and light woods to enliven six senses; rooms are fitted with fine lines, alluring designer beds, sink-in arm chairs, parquet flooring and warmed carpeted areas. The 107 cm plasma, free mini bar and high speed internet access are detailed differences that bring the unconventional Le Meridien Vienna to the forefront of sophistication in travel. The bathrooms are airy in frosted glass and mirrors, complete with free standing power shower and body jets, stand alone tubs and warming towel racks. Consistently creative, Le Meridien Vienna epitomises business chic for high profile meetings and conferences: six naturally lit meeting rooms house state of the art technology, high speed broadband, meeting packs and portable plasmas, allowing for 10 to 300 in different seating set-ups. The wellness zone with indoor pool, sauna, steam, Jacuzzi and fitness area revitalize and soothe the soul. The distinct ambience of the urbanesque Shambala, accented in moody violet and indigo, sets a precedent in innovative culinary dining. Pioneered by Michelin star celebrity chef Michel Rostang, this restaurant's imaginative kitchen inspires diners with its lively creations. The Shambala Bar radiates passion as one of the city's hottest hangouts for Vienna's trend setters, with tucked away chill out niches for lounge lizards and discreet one-on-ones. Street side Cafe Boulevard is a sophisticated spot for pick-me-up coffee and fresh flaky pastry, any time of the day.
