Housed in the old Lingotto car factory and reinvented by architect Renzo Piano, Le Meridien Lingotto has a direct connection to the Congress Center and the Lingotto Exhibition Center and is located approximately 15 miles from Sandro Pertini Airport. The train station Torino Lingotto is located in the immediate vicinity of the Le Meridien Hotel. Hotel amenities include the Garden of Wonders (with tropical trees and plants), book library, Turtle Bar (with views of the garden, Italian and Mediterranean dishes, and a summer terrace), Art + Cafe, Chocolate Bar, and Torpedo Restaurant, which gets its name from the vehicle built in the old Lingotto factory and serves Italian regional dishes designed by chef Daniele Giolitto. The jogging area was once used as a test ring for the cars on the roof of the old Fiat car factory. Guests also have access to the 25,000-square-meter shopping arcade's 90 shops, which includes restaurants, bars, fashion stores, and an 11-screen cinema.
