During our weekend in London to attend the Vogue Festival, we have stayed in the ME Hotel, and we are overwhelmed by this killing cool Hotel. The service is TOP! It really is, the staff was so friendly, helpful and kind, and the minute they knew we were from Portugal, they introduced us to Leandro, a very kind and friendly man that happens to speak Portuguese as he is Brazilian. I just remember the name of Leandro, but the other staff members were also very nice and very polite with us. Thank you all for making us feel at home.

I don´t get very excited when I see super modern Hotels, because for me a Hotel has to be as comfortable as my home, or even better. Most of the times super modern interior design, makes the Hotels not so cozy. But at the same time I´m not a vintage girl, at least when it comes to chose a Hotel, so what I usually look for in a Hotel, was what ME Hotel in London gave us. A avant-garde hotel with innovative design, cosmopolitan atmosphere and contemporary music, with a modern and different architecture designed by the world famous architects Foster and Partners. But the rooms were cozy, comfortable and at the same time with a clean and modern design.

This time, because we were not in London just to visit the city, we needed our clothes impeccably ironed, so as you can imagine when we unpacked the suitcases, most of the clothes were a mess. Not a problem! Leandro fixed it in minutes 😉 Here I have to say, it´s better than home 😉

ME Hotel is also one of the few hotels on the famous Conde Nast Traveller Hotlist 2013, very well situated just a few minutes from Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament and St. Paul’s Cathedral, near the theaters, shopping areas, fashionable hot spots and trendiest night clubs. The day we arrived we walked to convent garden, where we found the restaurant Shake Shack, which was a big surprise, because we love these hamburgers and we thought they only existed in New York, so we ate a quick and delicious meal but not very light 😉

We loved to go during our stay to the Bar Marconi Lounge in the hotel lobby, where you can enjoy a great choice of drinks in the most relaxed and chic ambience.

ME Hotel is also known for it´s sleek roof top lounge bar – RADIO, that wows the guests with stunning panoramic views of London‘s landmarks including the Oxo Tower, The Shard, St Paul‘s Cathedral, the London Eye, into Somerset House, the BT Tower and beyond. On a Friday and Saturday evenings it´s always crowded, with a DJ making a really nice vibe. It´s not very easy to reserve a table in this cosmopolitan rooftop, but because we were guests at the Hotel, we easily got a reservation. Radio is definitely worth a visit!

If you´re planing to go to London, ME Hotel is definitely a “must have” in your visit to this amazing city. But since the weather is getting warmer and we are all screaming for sun, sand and bikinis, you can find this Hotel in other warmer cities, I don´t know them just yet, but I think it would be a win-win option 😉
