One Night at Le Méridien Barcelona: an event of complete luxurious art! More than 400 guest passed by “the party” where they found great food, with exceptional chefs creation and workshops, and discovered “mixology”, a new way to mix drinks. Sixty journalists from all around the globe an a lot of artists and creatives, came here to breathe the atmosphere of “fiesta” and taste the Spanish “Movida”. Personalities of local life, formal consuls, clients, guest and many friends who will remember One Night Barcelona as just “that night in Barcelona”.
It’s the opening party of the first W in Europe. Everyone is here to celebrate the debut of Istanbul’s newest, hippest hostelry. The hotel is part of the stately Akaretler Row Houses, built by a 19th-century sultan to house his workers. After a big conversion study it now boasts sleek storefronts bearing tony international brands — Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, Alberta Ferretti — along with upscale private residences and, as its centerpiece, the ultra-hip W.
