Arrival & Architecture
From the moment I arrived on the Strand, it was clear that ME London is more than a hotel—it’s a landmark in its own right. Designed by Foster + Partners, the building’s sleek exterior draws the eye upward, and the sense of drama only builds once you step inside.
The check-in room, a soaring white atrium carved with geometric precision, immediately struck me as one of the most awe-inspiring hotel lobbies I’ve ever seen. Light filters down from above, bouncing off the dramatic surfaces and creating a space that feels futuristic yet serene. It’s impossible not to pause and take it all in—the architecture here is as much a part of the experience as the hospitality.

White-Glove Concierge & Service
What stood out right away was the service. At ME London, the staff move with a quiet confidence, offering attentiveness without intrusion. The concierge team, in particular, delivered true white-glove service—anticipating my needs before I voiced them, offering thoughtful recommendations, and ensuring every request was handled with utmost care and consideration. Luxury service can sometimes feel rehearsed, but here it was genuine and effortless. Every interaction reinforced the sense that every detail matters hotel where details matter.
The Guest Rooms – Modern Comfort Meets Subtle Indulgence
My room was a masterclass in modern luxury, featuring clean lines, monochromatic tones, and technology seamlessly integrated into the space. But beyond the sleek design, what made the room extraordinary were the thoughtful luxuries that transformed it into a sanctuary.
-A Dyson blow dryer and illuminated mirrors, a detail rarely seen in hotels, made even getting ready feel indulgent.
-The robes and slippers were plush and inviting, perfect for slipping into after a long day of wandering through London.
-Floor-to-ceiling glass doors opened to a private terrace with sweeping views of the city, an unexpected and deeply memorable vantage point.
Everything felt purposeful. Nothing was included for show—each feature enhanced the experience of staying there.
Room Service – Dining Reimagined
Room service at ME London wasn’t an afterthought. Each order arrived promptly, beautifully plated, and every bite carried the same attention to quality you’d expect from a fine dining restaurant.
In-room dining often risks being functional rather than memorable, but here it felt elevated, elegant, and intentional—a continuation of the hotel’s promise to turn even the smallest moments into experiences.
Atmosphere & Location
ME London has mastered the art of atmosphere. The hotel’s design leans contemporary and bold, but it avoids sterility by infusing warmth and intention into every corner. Whether you’re stepping into the insanely striking lobby, lounging on your terrace, or sipping a cocktail at the rooftop bar, there’s a sense of being enveloped in a world designed to impress without overwhelming.
And then there’s the location. Situated on the Strand, the hotel places you within effortless reach of Covent Garden, Somerset House, Trafalgar Square, and the Thames. It’s an address that feels at once central and refined, allowing you to experience London at its most vibrant while always having a luxurious retreat waiting for you.I was able to find the best price for my stay through Booking.com
Dining Above the City – Breakfast on the Rooftop
If the rooms set the tone, the rooftop breakfast buffet was the crown jewel of my stay. Taking in London’s skyline while sipping fresh coffee was one of those travel moments that etches itself into memory.
The spread itself was remarkable: flaky pastries, seasonal fruits, local specialties, and international favorites—all beautifully presented and replenished with care. It struck the perfect balance between abundance and refinement.
There’s something profoundly special about beginning the day above the city, watching London wake up while savoring a meal that feels curated just for you.
