Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio, has announced the opening of Le Méridien Ahmedabad. The new hotel marks the brand’s debut in Gujarat’s largest city, following the transformation of the Courtyard by Marriott Ahmedabad.
Located in the heart of India’s first UNESCO World Heritage City, Le Méridien Ahmedabad blends mid-century modern design with local cultural elements. The hotel aims to attract travelers seeking refined, culturally rich experiences.
Ranju Alex, Regional Vice President, South Asia, Marriott International said, “We are excited to introduce the Le Méridien brand to Ahmedabad, bringing the brand’s essence of savouring the good life to global tastemakers and locals. Ahmedabad is a destination known for its rich history and thriving art, culture, and culinary scene, which makes it the perfect fit for Le Méridien. This hotel is a celebration of detail and design – inviting travellers to explore Ahmedabad with curiosity, in style.”
The property offers 164 guest rooms and suites decorated with calm tones, mid-century silhouettes, and unique accents reflecting Ahmedabad’s textile heritage. A striking lobby artwork symbolizes the city’s vibrant culture and history. Design elements throughout the hotel, such as azure glass panes representing flowing textiles, pay homage to the city’s connection to the Sabarmati River and its past as a textile hub.
Dining options include The Market, serving global cuisine with local flavors; Java+ coffeehouse with Illy Coffee; Drift, a poolside venue transforming into an evening dining space; and Bayleaf, offering Awadhi cuisine. Guests can also indulge in sweet treats from Le Scoop, the brand’s signature ice cream program.
The hotel features 20,000 square feet of event space, including a grand ballroom and outdoor lawns suitable for various events. Amenities include the Explore Spa, a fitness center, and an outdoor pool.
Signature brand programs such as Unlock Art, in collaboration with Archer Art Gallery, offer guests complimentary access to local art. Families can enjoy activities under the Le Méridien Family Passport, while seasonal experiences like Au Soleil and La Vie celebrate the joy of travel.
Prashant Chadha, General Manager, Le Méridien Ahmedabad said, “Le Méridien Ahmedabad is a celebration of design and culture. Inspired by the brand’s spirit of savouring the good life, Le Méridien Ahmedabad celebrates the city’s rich identity through thoughtful design, evocative cuisine, immersive programming, and curated experiences. From the art on the walls to the textures in every room, from the flavours on the plate to the sense of place that lingers long after check-out, this is a story waiting to be lived and shared.”
