Melia Vendome by Jamie Dunford Wood

Melia Vendome’s look is clean luxury corporate with local twist - in this case the twist being the Belle Epoque reception area scattered with good repro antiques, the wood panelling in the rooms, and the general library air of sophistication running through the whole boutique hotel (there's a cosy Parisian library bar of dark wood and deep sofas on the ground floor, rather lacking in activity when we were there).

The rooms
Being very much a commercial enterprise where productivity is all, the rooms are squeezed in either side of narrow corridors, with some compromise in room size. Melia Vendome’s rooms are consistent in decor - striped walls in pale yellows, red carpets, good repro furnishings and copies of 18thc engravings on the walls.
