L. U. Simon Builders
Excellence in Construction of Commercial Buildings $30M-$80M
About the winning project
Le Meridien is a Marriott-branded 5-star hotel and flagship hotel in Australia. It was critical for L.U. Simon Builders to go above and beyond in a number of areas to ensure the finished building met the client hotel operations and, ultimately, guests’ expectations. The design and construction of the hotel incorporate the history of the previous building and pays homage to its previous uses as a theatre, cinema and nightclub. The project included 235 hotel rooms, including executive suites across 12 floors with sweeping views across Parliament, the MCG and all the way to the Dandenong Ranges. It included public amenities, including a restaurant, bar, cafe, two function rooms for events, multiple meeting rooms and breakout lounges, a gymnasium and a signature outdoor pool overlooking the entire Bourke Street and Parliament House.
