Following a year of missed moments, milestones and the summer that never was, Le Méridien welcomes travelers and locals alike to take back the season and chase endless summers with outdoor activations, food & beverage programming and limited-edition packages that evoke the glamour of a summer spent on the French Riviera — wherever you are in the world. “Au Soleil by Le Méridien,” a global program offered from Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts is scheduled to launch in June.
Launching in June and continuing throughout the year, participating Le Méridien hotels will put their own spin on this moment in time through programming that takes guests from the last rays of afternoon sunshine all the way through to dinner time. Sun-seekers are encouraged to ease themselves into Golden Hour by indulging in the brand’s Le Scoop by Le Méridien programme, which offers a decadent afternoon treat of refreshing gelato and sorbet, designed to be enjoyed while taking part in the European summer tradition of a “passeggiata” to unlock the destination’s locale. “Passeggiata” is an Italian term referring to a traditional evening stroll in the town’s piazza.
At select properties, guests will be able to book an “Au Soleil” room package, which includes breakfast and a complimentary Le Scoop by Le Méridien gelato or sorbet. For those who prefer to take summer on-the-go with them to discover the city or sunbathe at the beach, pas de problème – there is the Au-Soleil-To-Go kit, inspired by an idyllic summer day on the Côte d’Azur, available at participating properties.
Whether relaxing on a rooftop in Rome, laying poolside in Phuket, or dallying over a vintage game in Denver, there’s something for everyone to add a touch of Au Soleil glamour to the rest of their year. Locations featuring Au Soleil activations this year include (among others):
