Au Soleil: A Summer Soirée By Le Méridien

By Grace Sarkisian

Chase endless summers in the city or by the beach, from lazy rosé-filled afternoons in your favorite garden to backgammon on a mid-century terrace, or a stroll at golden hour with a sweet treat in hand. Savor the good life with Le Méridien, where the sun never sets on the jet set, from New York to Nice, Montreal to Munich, Dubai to Delhi, Shanghai to San Francisco, and beyond.


Moments to Sip n’ Savor
Allow yourself to indulge in lazy, rosé-filled afternoons, perfectly complemented by Le Scoop by Le Méridien. This exclusive gelato and sorbet treat brings the flavors of a European summer to life. Inspired by Whispering Angel rosé, the rosé sorbet debuts this month at over 30 Le Méridien properties worldwide. From urban retreats like Le Méridien Salt Lake City Downtown and Le Méridien Melbourne to coastal getaways like Le Méridien Barcelona and Le Méridien Lav, Split, this treat is available at many stunning locations.

The Rosé Sorbet Experience
Le Méridien has partnered with social media’s favorite chef and tastemaker, Meredith Hayden, to create a rosé-infused sorbet that captures the essence of summer. Inspired by a journey to the Whispering Angel vineyards in Provence and the flavors of the Mediterranean coast, this sorbet is a delightful blend of strawberries and rosé, best enjoyed in the sun, especially at golden hour.
The sorbet is served in a custom-designed Sorbet Sidecar, a glass cone that holds the sorbet scoop and sits atop a stemless wine glass filled with rosé. Presented on a sunshine-colored tray with an Au Soleil wooden cradle, this scoop-and-sip combo embodies the luxurious and leisurely spirit of Le Méridien.
