ME London
Design-forward urban luxury with a music and art bent. Dark corridors, dramatic atrium, cosmopolitan crowd. More nightlife energy than hushed retreat.

Why It Matters
The first hotel ever fully designed by Foster + Partners. Housed partly in the 1904 building that was the BBC's original broadcasting home. The Radio Rooftop Bar underwent a £2.5m refurbishment and is one of London's most recognised rooftop venues.
ME London sits in a Foster + Partners-designed building on the Strand, grafted onto a thoroughly renovated 1904 structure that served as the BBC's first home and the original Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company HQ. That history is baked into the fabric of the place — the nine-story triangular atrium with marble walls is genuinely arresting, and the top-floor Radio Rooftop Bar has 360° views stretching from the Shard to the Houses of Parliament. This is Meliá's flagship ME brand property, and it plays the part: 157 rooms loaded with floor-to-ceiling windows, Balinese showers, Egyptian cotton sheets, and Nespresso machines. No pool, no dedicated spa — but the rooftop alone justifies the address.
Where You'll Stay
13 room types available
2 Bedroom Beyond ME+ Suite Panoramic City View
Two king beds, two en-suite bathrooms, a private lounge. Black marble bathrooms with deep bathtubs and Balinese showers. A rare two-bedroom suite that actually feels like a luxury apartment rather than two rooms crammed together.
King · 113 sqm2 Bedroom Beyond ME+ Terrace View over London Skyline
8th floor, two bedrooms, and a private balcony opening onto London's skyline. Same footprint as the panoramic city view version but with outdoor space. ME+ service included.
King · 113 sqm2 Bedroom Superior ME City View
Two connecting rooms: two bedrooms, two Balinese-shower bathrooms, a small work desk area. The family or friends option when you want proximity but separate sleeping quarters. At 645 sq ft combined, it's the most practical multi-room configuration.
King · 60 sqm3 Bedroom Beyond ME+ Suite Panoramic City View
Three independent bedrooms, three bathrooms, two lounges, and a multi-purpose entertaining space. At 1,453 sq ft, this is the largest configuration in the hotel. Three families or a group who want the full London view treatment with proper separation.
King · 135 sqmAlways ME
Entry-level room but far from basic. King bed, Balinese shower, Co-Bigelow toiletries, Nespresso machine. The 247 sq ft is compact — this is a city-centre room, not a sprawling retreat. Fine for a solo traveller or a couple who plan to spend most of their time out.
King · 23 sqmAlways ME City View
A noticeable step up in size from the entry room. Egyptian cotton sheets, Balinese shower, city views through large windows. Good balance of space and value at this property.
King · 29 sqmBeyond ME+ Suite Panoramic City View
807 sq ft of minimalist luxury. Panoramic city views, ME+ personalised service. Genuinely spacious by London standards — room to breathe, separate sleeping and living areas.
King · 75 sqmBeyond ME+ Suite Terrace View over London Skyline
8th floor suite with a private terrace pointing straight at the London Eye and Big Ben. 893 sq ft with large bedroom, lounge, and designer bathroom. If you want the Instagram shot from your own outdoor space, this is the room.
King · 83 sqmExtra ME+ Junior Suite
Entry point into the ME+ tier — dedicated concierge-style service, exclusive amenities. Separate lounge, city view, elegant bathroom. At 430 sq ft it's a proper suite rather than just a bigger room. Good option if ME+ benefits matter to you.
King · 40 sqmSuperior ME City View
Floor-to-ceiling windows are the headline here — light floods the room. King bed or two singles on request. Lounge area and Balinese shower. Works well for two friends travelling together who want flexibility.
King or Twin · 30 sqmSuperior ME City View Terrace
On the higher floors, with a private balcony overlooking the surrounding district. The interior square footage is smaller than the standard Superior, but the balcony is the draw — you get London's skyline as your outdoor living room.
King or Twin · 21 sqmSuperior ME River View Terrace
Same footprint as the City View Terrace version, but facing the Thames. River views from the balcony. A compelling option for those who want to watch the Thames below.
King · 21 sqmUltimate ME+ Suite Duplex Penthouse
The flagship room. A two-level duplex at the very top of the hotel with direct private access to the Radio Rooftop Bar. Panoramic views in every direction. 1,065 sq ft of modernity and ME+ service. No queuing with the rooftop crowd — you just walk up.
