Le Meridien is just a five minute walk from the train station, so from the airport to the hotel took about 50 minutes by train. Hotel exterior Once inside we proceeded to check-in, which was located towards the right. The agent was very friendly and I inquired about the possibility of a suite upgrade, though…

Those lounge chairs in the courtyard... wouldn't the get ruined in bad weather??
Why do you never feature a picture of your travel companion in your travels as in other blogs?
@ Roland -- Now that you mention it, it sure looks like it!
@ Rich -- Most people don't want their picture posted on the internet.
i do agree that having no wireless internet option in this day and age is unacceptable. however, if you have a macbook, you can use your computer to share a wired internet connection. this won't work for macbook airs however (which i'm assuming you replaced after having your old one drowned in orange juice) since they do not have an ethernet port.
@ Peter_Ng -- You're absolutely correct. I knew the points amount ended in 800, and the cash component was a multiple of $45. 😉
@ Jeff -- Sadly I have a MacBook Air. Would that work with a dongle, or is there no way to do it even with that?
I have a Apple AirPort Express especially for that reason. I see still quite a few hotels in Europe without wireless access and this works like a charm. http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/
I'd also recommend the AirPort Express. It's small and usually safer than open wireless networks. Some Asian hotels are without wireless access also.
@lucky - i don't have USB ethernet adapter, so i can't say for certain, but i believe you will be able to share the internet. worth a try next time you're at a hotel with no wireless. to share, you go into "sharing" under "system preferences" and you should be able to set it up.
This is why I always travel with a portable wifi router. It makes hotel internet faster, and cheaper (for hotels that charge for more than 1 device on wifi)
Great hotel- did you have any trouble with the picture thing above the bed? I stayed there last fall, and couldn't figure out to turn it off, without turning off all of the power to the room. The front desk wasn't much help either.
I stayed at the Le Meridien in Casablanca a few weeks ago and I had the same complaint... Only wired internet in the room.
This lowly SPG Gold is enjoying a deluxe suite upgrade on a EUR107/night five-night stay over Easter. It's weird, because I didn't see any suites for sale prior to check-in, so I assumed my best upgrade would be on a higher floor with the courtyard view. Instead, I've got a bedroom divided off from the living room, a separate dressing room space with closets outside the bathroom, and floor to ceiling windows on two walls (corner room). I'm quite happy with things 😀
hey Lucky, how do you deal with the VAT? I was thinking about paying cash but worried about the VAT. Thanks!
Quick heads up - the LM Munich DOES now offer Wifi in guest rooms. But it's a bit of a hassle, as you have to ask the front desk for a user name and password for each connection (i.e. every 24 hours).
