Le Meridien to Debut in Bangladesh

7/30/2012

DHAKA, Bangladesh—Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. today announced the signing of Le Méridien Dhaka, slated to open in July 2013. Owned by Best Holdings Limited, the 304 room hotel will mark the second Starwood managed hotel in Bangladesh.

"We continue to look for opportunities to grow Starwood's brands in South Asia and are delighted to announce the signing of Le Méridien Dhaka, strengthening Starwood's footprint in Bangladesh," said Matthew Fry, senior vice president, acquisitions and development, Starwood Asia Pacific, in an announcement. "As one of the fastest growing cities in the world, we saw a real opportunity to introduce a new, global upscale hotel in Dhaka."

Le Méridien Dhaka will span between the eighth and fifteenth floors of a new mixed use development and offer guests views of Dhaka from the building's rooftop. Four food and beverage venues, including an all-day dining restaurant and specialty restaurant and bar, will offer culinary experiences for both guests and locals alike. The hotel will also house a 2,800 square-foot fitness center and a 2,400 square-foot spa.

Le Méridien Dhaka , designed with a 125 foot outer façade, will showcase the signature 'Le Méridien Hub,' a concept that re-interprets the traditional hotel lobby into a social gathering place. The Hub at Le Méridien Dhaka will further build on the brand's Arrival experience, curated by Le Méridien's Cultural Curator Jérôme Sans. Le Méridien Arrival consists of four elements: large-scale artwork; the sensory experience, illustrated through Le Méridien signature scent, sound and use of light; UNLOCK ARTTM program, featuring an artist designed keycard collection that not only offers access to the guestroom but also to Le Méridien affiliated contemporary cultural centers in the city; and a 24-hour soundtrack curated by Sans.
