Designed by celebrated architect Renzo Piano, this ultramodern hotel successfully integrates Turin's past, present and future. Created from a former Fiat car factory, Le Méridien Turin Art+Tech accomplishes a new vision of hospitality through design and functionality. The immense open space of the central hall reveals itself in the light from the glass roof above. Wall length windows and glass, panoramic lifts offer a play of transparency and embrace the surrounding city. 5 floors of cherry wood panels provide a warm channel within this expanse of glass and light. The hotel is situated on the 1st floor of the iconic Lingotto building, which houses an elegant art gallery, convention centre, concert hall, shopping mall and multiplex cinema. A jogging area on the roof, constructed from the former factory car test track, highlights the hotel's unique functionality and offers spectacular views of Turin.
