Le Méridien Philadelphia

Le Méridien Philadelphia is crossing the finish line to completion. They are nearing their grand opening which is set for November 1, 2009.  Carved from a Georgian revival-style building, Le Méridien Philadelphia is looking to be a gorgeous entry. Designers at Blackney Hayes Architects have made a fine restoration of what was a 1912 Horace Trumbauer-designed building. 

  The historical building that the Le Méridien Philadelphia has recycled is an absolute gem. A predominantly black and white décor with hints of reds match splendidly with the natural dark wood paneling. Travel and exploration is the theme carried throughout the hotel, as evidenced in sculptures, light fixtures and wall coverings. When it does open, the Le Meridien Philadelphia will have- 202 rooms on five floors, a 90-seat restaurant (Amuse), a 40-seat lobby lounge (Le Amuse) and a grand ballroom with dramatic views of City Hall.
