Le Meridien Grand Pacific, Tokyo

Advantages: Proximity to airport & city centre, choice of restuarant, luxury
Disadvantages: None other than distance to beach!

...welcome especially considering the temperature in Dubai rarely dips below 40oC. The hotel also offers a large selection of sports and spa facilities. I can't comment on these other than to say the tennis players looked rather warm! The location of the hotel is ideal for anyone wanting to see the city. A five minute taxi ride will place you firmly in the main city centre. A twenty minute taxi drive will take you to the beach. For approximately £15 you can spend the day at the Le Royal Meridien Beach Resort & Spa. I believe the only exceptions to this are Sundays and public holidays when guests from other Meridien hotels are not accepted. The cost of this hotel is approximately £66 per night for a deluxe room. I think this is an amazing price considering all this hotel has to offer. We paid approximately £700 each for 13 nights... Read review

Advantages: Peace and tranquility within a busy airport environment. Beautiful atrium!
Disadvantages: Air-conditioning in rooms wasn't great. Building work in progress in the atrium.

...Aficionado Extraordinaire, as – on reflection - I would appear to be, of staying in bizarre hotel locations, I recently found myself at the Le Méridien Hotel, Gatwick Airport. Not, I’m somewhat embarrassed to admit, that I was actually flying anywhere. Nope! It’s just where (for £40 for the room, against a considerably greater rack-rate) the infamous Priceline decided to send us. And when the hotel is as good as this, at that price, I am certainly not one to complain. In fact, the trip turned out to have several advantages. Let me say from the outset, however, that if you actually are flying to or from Gatwick Airport, south of London, this is a superb airport hotel, with only minor faults. There are two hotels on site – the Gatwick Hilton is located at the South Terminal (and I’ll confess that I have a real soft spot for Hiltons... Read review

Advantages: Good location
Disadvantages: Cack hotel

...When we recently had a team meeting in London, a friend of mine was given the task of arranging somewhere to eat and I was tasked with finding somewhere to sleep. This was good news because I got to choose a hotel that was convenient for me. Selfish, aren’t I? Oh well. WHY I CHOSE LE MERIDIEN RUSSELL Although I do occasionally venture out further, I tend to book hotels that are close to Euston or King’s Cross railway stations because this is where most of my team arrive by train and because all our company buildings are that side of town. The last time I was in town, I stayed in the Holiday Inn in Bloomsbury, which certainly isn’t bad after its refit, but I was unable to get seven rooms for the date I had in mind. Over on www.laterooms.com I spotted a discount in Le Meridien, Russell Square from £220 per night to £89. This... Read review
