Le Meridien unveils its 100th hotel in Coimbatore

Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide recently opened it's 100th Le Meridien hotel globally, Le Meridien Coimbatore, India. Owned by Appu Hotels Limited, Le Meridien Coimbatore is the first internationally branded five-star hotel in the city.

“Le Meridien has undergone a comprehensive brand transformation in the past six years since it was acquired by Starwood. In this new era for Le Meridien, after a comprehensive brand re-launch and portfolio consolidation, we are proud to celebrate Le Meridien brand's best portfolio ever with today's grand opening of our 100th hotel worldwide, Le Meridien Coimbatore,” said Eva Ziegler, Global Brand Leader, Le Meridien and W Hotels Worldwide.

Le Meridien Coimbatore features 254 guest rooms and suites including a Presidential Suite aside from conference facilities. In the Food and Beverage section, the hotel has Latest Recipe, Peacock, Ponzu and Favola. Besides, it has Illy Cafe and bar Latitude 11 degree. The hotel will soon open an international standard spa, health club and a night club.

“We visualise great potential for Coimbatore to emerge as an ideal MICE destination. The city's salubrious climate and proximity to well known hill stations in the Nilgiris like Ooty, Kodaikanal, Munnar and wildlife sanctuaries make it an attractive destination for leisure travellers while its growth as a medicare, engineering and textile centre, provide opportunities for it to become a strong industrial hub,” said Dr Palani G Periasamy Chairman, Appu Hotels Ltd and PGP Group of Companies.

“Le Meridien Coimbatore is a significant addition to our portfolio in the South Asia region and we believe the opening of this hotel will reinforce the strength of the brand and continue to generate renewed interest,” said Dilip Puri MD India and Regional Vice President South Asia, Starwood Asia Pacific Hotels & Resorts.

"Le Meridien Coimbatore reiterates Starwood's belief in the possibilities that lie in Tier-II markets for upper upscale hotels and strengthens our resolve to continue to explore opportunities for expansion of our brands in these markets," he added.
