  • (1888PressRelease) October 24, 2011 - Le Meridien Amman, a subsidiary of Starwood Hotels and Resorts, has recently welcomed the visual Swedish artist Ragnhild Lundén, as she prepared for her second cross cultural exhibition in Jordan; "Intuition and Imagination" at the Jordan National Gallery of Fine Arts; Le Meridien Amman's partner in the global UNLOCK ART™ programme.

    Guests of Le Meridien Amman were invited to the abstract art exhibition as part of the UNLOCK ART™ programme which entails providing guests with access to contemporary cultural centres around the world, through the Unlock Art™ pass found in their room. This cultural programme aims at awakening guests' creative curiosity and offering them opportunities to discover a different or new perspective.

    "Le Meridien Amman is committed to transforming the functional and transactional check in process and hotel stay into an emotional connection for our guests summed in the award-winning program of the Arrival Experience," said Public Relations Manager Sewar Sawalha. "This chic connection is meant to stay with the guest, by giving them a memorable experience through Le Méridien brand's signature scent, sound and use of light that will accompany them, even after their departure."

    The UNLOCK ART™ programme introduces hotel key cards as a piece of limited edition artwork that are designed by a group of artists and designers under the name of LM100™ and become pieces of art and collectible items that guests can take home as souvenirs.
