Classic King
Courtyard-facing, the quietest rooms in the building and the best value in the house.
$260 / night
Book
Triple glazing, blackout that actually blacks out, and a rooftop pool that opens at six for the people who cannot help themselves.
Most city hotels are designed to look good in a photograph at eleven in the morning. The Meridian was designed around eleven at night — check-in that takes ninety seconds, a kitchen that runs until one, and rooms you cannot hear the street from.
The building is a 1930s bank hall. We kept the brass, the marble and the height, and replaced everything that was making noise.
Rates are per night including breakfast, the pool and the gym.

Higher floors, full-height windows and the city doing its thing on the other side of them.

A separate sitting room, a dining table for six, and the corner of the building with two aspects.
Twenty metres, heated year round, open from six in the morning until ten at night.
In the old teller hall. Short list, good ice, and it stays open until one.
Six, fourteen and forty seats, with proper video kit and a door that shuts on the noise.
Free weights, three machines, a steam room, and towels that are actually warm.
“I travel twenty weeks a year. This is the only hotel where I have never once been woken by the corridor.”
“Ran a fourteen-person workshop in the middle room. The video kit worked first time, which has never happened to me before.”
“Landed at midnight, checked in in under two minutes, and ate a proper plate of food at half past twelve.”
Direct bookings get 16:00 checkout whenever the floor allows, breakfast included, and no change fee up to 24 hours before.
