Le Meridien Lingotto — Turin, Italy

Le Meridien Lingotto has been spectacularly converted from the ancient Fiat automobile factory by the renowned architect Renzo Piano - famous for the Pompidou Centre in Paris. Directly connected to the Congress Centre and the Lingotto Exhibition Centre, the hotel is quite simply the perfect business hotel experience. Guest rooms are furnished in warm tones of cherry wood and feature fantastic design pieces of the 20th century. Glass walls from the original Fiat factory remain creating light and spacious rooms and suites.

The magnificent restaurant 'Torpedo' is named after the extraordinary vehicle built in the old Lingotto factory. Overlooking luscious tropical gardens, guests can enjoy high quality cuisine which is a blend of Italian regional traditional dishes and avant-garde trends.

Housed in one of Turin's most significant buildings of the 20th Century, Fiat's historic Lingotto car factory, the hotel was originally built in the 1920s. This is where Fiat tested their early production cars and this site has been made famous by its use in 'The Italian Job' for the car chase scenes. Today, guests can use the former Fiat car testing track on the roof of the building as a unique jogging area.

The Lingotto, a unique building and a symbol of Turin, is also a rare example of restoration of an industrial area on a grand scale. It is home to '8 Gallery', a leisure and shopping centre that is both 'ideal and nearby' and a place to meet, experience fashion and to savour and find inspiration in different cultures.

Inaugurated in September 2002, on the top floor of the Lingotto, the art gallery Pinacoteca Giovanni e Marella Agnelli was offered to the city by the president of Fiat.

Guests can jog on the famous testing track, located on the roof of the former car factory, and also benefit from the hotel's direct link to the Lingotto Convention Centre, one of the most exclusive meeting room facilities in the area, which seats up to 3500 people, with 50,000 square metres of floor space and the panoramic Bola with private helipad. Le Meridien Lingotto is only ten minutes from the city centre.
