The new hotel features 254 guest rooms and 42 suites. The hotel’s signature spa, inspired by European spa traditions, comprises eight treatment rooms, a jacuzzi, Turkish Hammam, an outdoor pool and fitness centre, offering endless ocean views.
Le Meridien Oran Hotel & Convention Centre houses the largest meeting facilities in North Africa with nearly 9,000 square metres of meeting and event space, including two ballrooms, a pre-function area and 23 meeting rooms accommodating up to 3,000 seated guests and features the largest mural fresco in the world.
The hotel also features the newly-developed Le Meridien Hub experience, which re-interprets the traditional lobby into a social gathering place for creative people to converse, debate, and exchange.
