Set upon a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean, the 296-key Le Méridien Oran Hotel & Convention Centre has opened its doors in Algeria. Design by Rockwell Group Europe (RGe) integrates a contemporary scheme punctuated by elements influenced by the country’s heritage. The hotel’s arrival experience welcomes guests with large lanterns, soaring ceilings, and RGe-designed artwork depicting a profile of Oran’s coastline on steel plates.

Amenities include an all-day-dining outlet with open kitchen, Italian restaurant, and lobby bar. Meanwhile, the spa offers eight treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi, Turkish Hammam, an outdoor pool, and fitness center.

The convention center comprises nearly 97,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, including an auditorium highlighted by an expansive mural fresco by Algerian artist Tewfik Boumedhi that is made of 51,000 tiles and depicts the Southern Mediterranean culture in Arab-Moresque art.
