Contrasted with the classical atmosphere of Turin, Le Méridien Turin Art+Tech blends the old and the new to render a vibe all its own. Part of the Starwood Hotels and Resorts network, this artsy hotel was designed by the celebrated architect Renzo Piano, the ultra-modern hotel integrates past and future by combining modern architecture with the newly refurbished Lingotto Fiat plant. Named for the Celtic tribe that founded the city more than 2,000 years ago—the Taurini Gauls—Turin was the first capital of a unified Italy. Today, it retains the glorious architectural fame it achieved during the Baroque period in the 1700s.

Vibrant and uniquely chic Art+Tech guest rooms provide exquisite comfort and a stylish atmosphere. All rooms feature wall-mounted plasma screen televisions and High Speed Internet Access. Luxurious bathrooms boast powerful showers and graceful glass adornments. Guest rooms have been crafted by famed contemporary designers. Sunlight pours into spacious, high-ceilinged guest rooms furnished with plasma screen TVs and powerful multi-jet showers. Offering a taste of the future.

“Lo Scrigno,” the stunning and sophisticated three-bedroom Presidential Suite earns its name – a Jacuzzi, power shower, immense walk-in wardrobe, spacious kitchenette and striking view of the mountains make it a truly luxurious place to spend your time in Turin.

The airy Art+Café serves the latest in modern cuisine. With unexpected twists and turns this café becomes a charming place to enjoy a meal. Cherry wood paneling cascades from the ceiling to the floor – famed architect Renzo Piano succeeded in creating an elegant but always contemporary atmosphere.
Art + Café Restaurant’s hours: 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM; 7:30 PM – 10:30 PM

The “8 Gallery” located adjacent to the building is the premiere shopping venue in the area, providing one kilometer of chic boutiques and intimate cafés. Situated on the first floor of the Lingotto building, the enormous space also houses an elegant art gallery, a convention centre, and a beautiful concert hall – it is indeed a “city within a city”.
