Le Meridien Piccadilly Hotel

Introduction: The Le Meridien Piccadilly is a five star luxury hotel that first opened in May 1908 (as the Piccadilly Hotel) and situated right in the heart of London's West End. An ideal location for both business and leisure guests. The hotel stands proudly yards from the world famous Piccadilly Circus, and a stroll away from attractions such as Buckingham Palace (0.6 miles) and Trafalgar Square (0.3 miles) (now pedestrianised). The hotel actually stands right at the far East end of Piccadilly itself which is home to many famous landmarks, shops and bars such as the Fortnum and Mason department store. Adjacent to the area that has become known as theatreland, an area that takes in Covent Garden, Soho (0.3 miles) and the area just south of Oxford Street alongside Regents Street. To the immediate North West of the hotel and parallel with the north side of Piccadilly is one of the UK's most prestigious residential areas, Mayfair. The area just on the other side of Piccadilly is St James's Park, another upmarket residential area. Regent Street is just yards from the hotel, one of the most famous roads in London and full of shops, boutiques, bars, restaurants and other amenities. Green Park is less than half a mile from the hotel along Piccadilly and makes up part of the grounds of Buckingham Palace. Piccadilly is actually the end of the A4 dual main road, which is the main road into and out of London to the West. This makes access from Heathrow very easy since the M4 merges into the A4 which makes for a direct line on a single road all the way from the airport to the Hotel if travelling in by road.
