ME London

I don't know about you but I'm going a little stir crazy. January is not my favorite month.  Next year remind me to plan a trip in January.  To a beach.  I gotta get outta here!  Matt just returned from a guy's trip to Minsk. Minsk in January?  Sounds like they had a great time but it was freezing cold.  Posting about Morocco has helped a bit.  Going through all of the photos makes me forget the cold and feel warm again.  I have so many more posts about Morocco.  I hope you aren't getting bored of them yet.  And in one week we will be heading to Iceland!  I can't even tell you how excited I am.  I'll be posting on Twitter and Instragram using #JonesInIceland, if you want to follow along.  Today I'm going to take a little break from Morocco and tell you about an event I attended recently with some other bloggers and journalists. 

Matt and I aren't too fussy about hotels.  We usually go for a low to moderate priced hotel with decent reviews on Trip Advisor.  We want to travel as much as possible so we don't splurge on hotels.   But, sometimes it's fun to take a peek at a Five Star Hotel.  When I received an invite to visit the ME London design hotel at the Marconi House (original home of the BBC), I was happy to go along with my camera.  For the day, I could pretend that I was a guest in this elegant hotel. 

We started our day with ME London at the Radio roof top bar for fabulous views of London and some cozy cocktails.  The building is right across from Somerset House with full views of the Thames.  I'd love to get dressed up one night and spend the evening here snuggled up in a blanket and sipping cocktails.

If you happen to be staying in their two story penthouse suite you can enjoy your very own space on the rooftop terrace.

I had a Warm ME Up (and it certainly did) a thermos of hot chocolate spiked to perfection with Hennessy Cognac and spices.  Then we took a tour of the beautiful hotel.  Room rates start from £340 per night excluding VAT.  A bit much for our budget but maybe someday.  It could happen.

They've considered every detail with sumptuous bedding and spa like bathrooms. I've been enjoying their lotions and potions that were in our goody bag.  I think I need a faux fur blanket, don't you?

I'm not sure if or when I'll get to stay in this gorgeous hotel, but I will definitely be going back for some great Italian food at Cucina Asellina.  It's a lovely, contemporary restaurant serving rustic Italian food.  ME London is also home to STK Steakhouse and the Marconi Lounge.

It has a really great vibe and the food was amazing.  Here's some food porn for you...

The ME London opened in March of last year and is part of Meliá Hotels International, Spain's leading hotel chain with hotels in 39 countries.  ME by Meliá is "for cultured, fashionable guests who are driven by new experiences and opportunities."

It's absolutely gorgeous and the level of customer service is a highlight.  I'm not giving up hope that someday I'll get to spend the night in this fashionable hotel.

Where's the fanciest hotel that you've stayed in?  What was your favorite special touch?
