<h1>Le Meridien Lingotto | Superior Hotels Europe</h1>
<h2>Via Nizza, 262, Turin, Torino</h2>
<p>the old Lingotto car factory expertly renovated and modernised by Renzo Piano , an undeniably genial architect of international fame. Since 1995 this site has afforded Le Meridien a perfect setting in which to express its particular penchant for excellence. The Hotel Le Meridien welcomes its guests in a spectacular green oasis, a tropical paradise where the breathtaking abundance of camelias, olive trees, magnolias, bamboo plants and pomegranate trees is artfully interspersed with unusually named plants and flowers. The charm of this oasis is expressed in its very name 'The Garden of Wonders'. The designer Renzo Piano described this garden as one of the 'unexpected guests', just one of the splendid examples of design and creativity which characterise the Lingotto today. These 'unexpected guests' are proposed in continuity with the genial and suggestive details created by Matte' Trucco in construction of the old automobile factory: the car testing track situated on the roof of the building and the futuristic helicoidal ramps. To stay in Le Meridien Hotel is to bask in a unique environment of careful detail and charm which range from the gourmet Torpedo Restaurant designed as a testimonial to the extraordinary automobile manufactured in the Lingotto workshops, the full length windows which characterise the entire building, the elegant red wood panelling used by Renzo Piano in furnishing of rooms to create an atmosphere of warmth and taste. The historical, artistic and cultural charm of numerous such details is further enhanced by the consolidated exquisite courtesy and impeccable service offered by Le Meridien in rendering guests' stay thoroughly enjoyable. Le Meridien Lingotto is the ideal hotel for business travellers providing a functional and spacious studio area in rooms, fully equipped technological meeting rooms and direct links with the Lingotto Conference Centre and Fair pavilions. With the aim of acting as a valid 'trend-setter' in the establishing of the highest standards encountered in international hotels, Le Meridien Lingotto has placed particular emphasis on a category of persons which is all too often neglected but which is undoubtedly on an increase among those who travel for work: business women. The particular care and attention reserved to the female world by Le Meridien is amply depicted also in the presence of staff who manage the Lingotto Hotel: in opposition to the overwhelming male tradition encountered habitually in hotel management, the Manager Andrea Prevosti has chosen young female assistants in order to provide for a successful mix of competence and feeling. In the Manager's opinion 'a businesswoman's stay in a hotel should not be a stressful experience but should rather represent a pleasurable and entertaining break from everyday routine'. Accordingly, Le Meridien Lingotto has launched a series of initiatives to enhance the comfort, safety and well being of women who travel for work. The following are just a few examples to illustrate the above: Le Meridien has created Le Naturien, a line of biological health foods to add that extra energy at breakfast time. The genuine fragrance of natural flavours represent a precise choice of well-being and harmony which can become a daily habit even whilst staying in a hotel. The pleasure of being able to eat well and at the same time take care of one's health and vitality is a philosophy expressed in the motto which accompanies Le Meridien breakfast: 'Be smart. Have a bio start'. To while away moments of relaxation and stay fit, Le Meridien proposes Eurosporting, the largest fully equipped gymnasium in Turin with a direct link onto the second floor of the hotel. An ultimate surprise. As the love for reading is a love capable of rendering the hours spent 'captured' by a book absolutely unforgettable, Le Meridien Lingotto has created a charming small library for its guests. A place where you can pick up the pages of a well loved volume or in which you may dally over the choice of a new title or an appealing novel, guided only by your curiosity and by the challenge of the search. The variety of books available in the library is selected by the Holden School in Turin, a school of creative writing and cultural centre of international fame presided over by Alessandro Baricco.</p>
