Marking its brand debut in the Punjab market, Le Méridien Amritsar is the newest addition to the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of 31 brands. An immersive media experience will be specially curated for you to make the most of this destination.

Le Méridien Amritsar is further aiming to strengthen the European-born brand’s presence in India with its 11th property in the country. Surrounded by lush green fields soaked in beautiful sunrises and warm sunsets, the resort is located within 1.5 km from the Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport. Unveiling the best-kept secrets of Amritsar, you can savor and enjoy the colorful spirit of the city, the people, and the rich history of this land.

I wrote a story on its Art initiative. Le Méridien is driven by the desire to unlock destinations. We offers guests unique cultural and artistic programme meant to inspire them to slow down and cherish the good life.

• Through the Unlock Art Programme Le Meridien partners with cultural centers around the world to offer guests local, inspiring experiences, simply by presenting the Unlock Art collectable room key. Le Meridien, Amritsar has collaborated with The Indian Academy of Fine Arts and offers the guests a complimentary visit for an enlightening experience.
• The Arrival Artwork is one of the key elements of the brand. At Le Meridien, Amritsar as soon as the guest enter the lobby they catch a glimpse of a gorgeous Horse which depicts the story and the colors of Amritsar. Before the city was founded; the area was covered with thick forests and was a part of the silk route. In that era Horses were used for travel, trade and commerce. In the tradition, horses symbolize speed, beauty, purity, the expansive power of freedom. They are representing the city to welcome the guest at the arrival lobby.
• The social hub at Le Meridien, Amritsar has a digital kiosk screen for local sites and cultural center promotions for the guest to explore.
• The guest rooms are a seamless fusion of chic European design and the rich cultural and historic beauty of Amritsar. The mini-bar is placed inside a trunk which is inspired by the trunks used by traders in the early times.
