With its new openings, the brand owned by the Starwood Hotels & Resorts group is about to triple its supply on the American continent.

Starwood Hotels & Resorts plans steady growth for its Le Méridien brand. The group has announced the opening of 11 new properties in the next 12 months.

The new developments will mostly concern the United States, with Le Méridien Tampa (130 rooms), Le Méridien Chicago (172 rooms), Le Méridien Indianapolis (99 rooms), Le Méridien New Orleans (410 rooms) and Le Méridien Charlotte.
