Created by Vasconi Architects, the Meli谩 Paris La D茅fense provides panoramic views of the city and its landmarks.

Shaped like the sail of a boat that rises to 70 metres in height, the building has 369 guestrooms, including 29 suites, distributed across 18 floors, as well as a fitness area, panoramic bar and conference rooms.

The building has a sharp architectural identity and modern look. Its dimensions and shape help distinguish the hotel from the surrounding office towers. The 鈥渒nife blade鈥 shaped building plays on contrasting materials: glass on the southern esplanade-side facade and metallic shot-peened panels on the boulevard side.

The fluid, curved southern facade ends in a prow with a tilted edge projecting towards Paris. The gaping glass fa莽ade is visible by all the rooms, in which windows span along the entire width to open up towards the fa莽ade, providing the interiors with a stunning luminosity and a spectacular view of the horizon.

Guardian SunGuard庐 SuperNeutral鈩 (SN) 51/28 coated solar control glass was chosen for the fa莽ade, including curved sections. The multi-functional coated glass provides high natural light transmission (51%), while ensuring energy savings and exceptional solar protection. The coating minimises the need for artificial light combined with outstanding thermal insulation.
