Win a 5-star weekend in London at the ME London hotel with HfP

This week we are running a great competition on Head for Points in association with Melia Hotels International.

One lucky reader will win a 2-night weekend stay at the 5-star ME London hotel on the Aldwych.

A bit about ME London

ME London was designed by Sir Norman Foster and officially opened in 2013. It sits on Aldwych next to the site of the old BBC World Service building, literally two minutes from Covent Garden.

I recently had a tour of ME London and the hotel is very stylish. Whoever wins is going to be impressed. The design is modern and luxurious, playing with a black and white scheme. The tranquil corridors are creating a contrast to the rooms which are light and airy with all of the facilities you would expect from a new lifestyle-driven hotel – Nespresso machine, eclectic mini-bar and the latest electronic mood lighting.

There are two restaurants and two bars at ME London. The Marconi Lounge on the ground floor offers freshly brewed coffee, aromatic teas, fresh pastries as well as champagne and cocktails. The award-winning Radio Rooftop Bar offers panoramic views of London’s Skyline serving signature cocktails and Spanish tapas. Your prize includes free drinks here. Lastly, STK London is a celebrity-favoured steakhouse serving prime beef cuts and more with live DJ sessions on Thurs-Sat. Full English Breakfast is exclusively served at Cucina restaurant.

Earlier this year I stayed at the sister hotel ME Milan II Duca and you can read my review here. I was impressed by the quality of the rooms, the food and the service.

Located minutes from Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Houses of Parliament and St. Paul’s cathedral, ME London is in the ideal location for a 2-day London adventure for whoever wins our competition.

If you choose to book a room at ME London for cash, remember that the hotel is part of Melia Rewards.  You can earn Avios from stays at ME London or other Melia Hotels International properties. Your Melia Rewards points will convert into Iberia Plus Avios and you can move them across to BA using ‘Combine My Avios’.

Melia Rewards members also get a better price when staying at a Melia property. For example, two nights at ME London in a MODE room for two people in September is £710 for Melia Rewards members but £824 for non members.

Holders of American Express Platinum cards now receive automatic Gold status in Melia Rewards which will bring you extra points and benefits on stays at ME London. You can also use your Gold ‘20% discount vouchers here.
