Frosted Florals by Hamish Powell
Transcending the traditional Christmas tree concept, this year, ME London has partnered with floral artist Hamish Powell to create a unique festive display. Featured by the likes of Vogue and ELLE Decoration, Hamish crafts narratives with his arrangements, with flowers as his muse and medium. The ‘Frosted Florals’ display will take guests on a visual and sensory journey that combines Powell’s elegant designs with ME London’s exclusive pine tree scent. Set in the lobby, rotunda, atrium and bar, each installation is designed to surprise and delight guests, providing picture perfect moments across the hotel.
Renais x Marconi
Exclusively for the month of December, sustainable luxury spirit brand, Renais will take over ME London’s Marconi Lounge. Founded by Alex Watson and his sister, Emma Watson, Renais offers a bold and vibrant take on gin, whilst honouring age-old practices. Guests can choose from a curated menu of Renais favourites – original twists on classic gin cocktails, created to showcase the spirit’s unique flavour profile in a contemporary way. From the signature Emma Spritz, to the Chocolat Noir Negroni, there’s something to tantalise all tastebuds.
Skate & Sushi
A proud partner of Somerset House, guests of ME London can opt for the “Sushi, Stay & Skate” package this festive season. Enjoy access to Somerset House’s iconic rink for an unparalleled skating experience, followed by a trip to ME London’s Radio Rooftop to indulge in the finest sushi and sashimi. Bask in unobstructed views of the glistening city skyline whilst sipping on signature cocktails, before residing to ME suites for an uninterrupted night’s sleep.
The Memory Tree
As part of a wider collaboration with mental health advocate, Phoebe Torrence, and Papyrus charity, throughout the holiday season ME London will be home to The Memory Tree. For many, Christmas can be a lonely time, so to recognise this, and provide hope and inspiration for anyone struggling, guests, diners and Londoners alike are invited to pay a visit to the tree and leave a note. This marks the start of ME London’s collaboration with Papyrus, as the hotel plans to raise funds for the charity throughout the month of December.
Primely positioned on The Strand, ME London is just a stone’s throw away from Covent Garden’s luxury boutiques and a short walk from Southbank’s Christmas Market, with the city’s best Christmas offerings on its doorstep. After experiencing the hotel’s own festivities, guests are encouraged to head out and experience all the neighbourhood has to offer, and the dedicated concierge are on hand to help build out the ultimate holiday itinerary.
The Renais x Marconi takeover, Frosted Florals Display and Memory Tree will be open from 1st December –7th January.
