 The corridors are dated and smell of smoke 
 They could not have done anything more for us We arrived for a three night stay and were able to check in early The staff were extremely friendly and offered us a free upgrade upon arrival I mentioned before arriving that we were on holiday for my husband s 40th birthday To our surprise the hotel arranged a bottle of champagne on our first night with a thoughtful note The location of the hotel is absolutely perfect especially for the opera which is a 2 minute dash across the road on a winter s evening The hotel is very modern and beautifully decorated Thank you to all the staff at Le Meridian for making our stay so special
