The Le Meridien is in a great location, walk out the front door and you are in the middle of the action. The other option is the Mandarin but at 10x the cost.
As a Platinum we were not upgraded but the hotel was extremely busy. The staff were outstanding and helpful. Service was up to par with the service we received at Hotel Arts.
I would stay here again for those times when our pocket book is a little light and we can't swing the Mandarin or Hotel Arts.
