New Hotel Becomes Second Le Méridien in NYC

The hotel features 165 rooms, 17 of that are apartment-style residences, which Marriott says are for guests staying for an extended period, with 6 featuring walk-out terraces. All rooms feature bath products from MALIN+GOETZ, 4k television sets, and more.

The hotel features a communal space dubbed, the Le Méridien Hub, which Marriott says is a “reinterpretation” of a standard hotel for guests and will serve coffee during the day and cocktails at night. An all-day restaurant will serve Italian cuisine.

“As we continue to celebrate the brand’s momentous 50th anniversary this year, we’re delighted to expand on our global footprint and bring a distinct stay experience and chic signature programs to creative-minded travelers visiting New York City,” Jennifer Connell, Global Brand Leader at Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement.

The hotel will join the Marriott Bonvoy program, and members can earn and redeem points at the property. Rates at the Le Méridien New York, Fifth Avenue, start at around $170 per night for dates in February 2023, or 63,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

If you’re low on Marriott Bonvoy points, there are several ways to earn a ton of points quickly. You might consider opening a Marriott Bonvoy-earning personal and business credit card, or transferring since it is a Chase hotel partner or Amex hotel partner, or even linking to your Uber account.

Bottom Line: Le Méridien is 1 of Marriott’s 30 signature brands under the “distinctive premium” umbrella. The hotel brand is known for modern designs and cuisine curated for travelers looking to explore.
