ME London appoint Fabio Gallo as GM
Janet Harmer
Tuesday 21 February 2012 16:07

ME London - set to launch in June 2012 - has appointed Fabio Gallo as general manager.
Gallo has arrived at the 157-bedroom hotel from the Cadogan London, where he was general manager for five years. He has also worked as
general manager at the Baglioni, director of sales and marketing at Grosvenor House and director of business development at the London
Hilton on Park Lane.
ME London will sit alongside the 581-bedroom Melia White House as the second hotel in London for the family-owned Spanish hotel group,
Melia Hotels International. It is the fifth hotel to be launched worldwide to be branded under the contemporary, luxury ME banner.
Situated on the Strand, the ME London has been designed by Foster + Partners and will feature two restaurants - including one to be run by a
yet-to-be-announced outside operator, two bars, a 360-degree roof-top bar and a screening room.
Gallo, who speaks four languages including Spanish, described ME London as the group's flagship hotel and an exciting new offering for the
capital.
"ME London and the building is firmly rooted in the cultural world - it was formally the Gaiety Theatre and then the first home of the BBC,
Marconi House," he said. "Being passionate about photography and the arts, I am looking forward to realising a number of exciting
collaborations to preserve ME London's rich heritage, whilst embracing the future'.

New ME Hotel to Host Masterchef-esque Comp

ME London, a new five star, design-led hotel will be opening in July in Central
Londons historic BBC Marconi building. This contemporary hotel has been designed
by Foster + Partners, who are known for their work on the Stansted Airport, the
Reichstag dome in Berlin, and Londons City Hall.
ME London will feature 2 ground-floor restaurants, a ground-floor bar, as well as a
Rooftop Club bar. In order to stick with their cutting-edge theme, the hotel has
decided to take an extremely unconventional approach to hiring for one of the
restaurants.
Instead of bringing in some well-known celebrity chef, ME London has decided to host their own version of MasterChef to find a new culinary
superstar; the challenge is called ME.N.U. While this competition will be nowhere near as intense as the show, it will be just as exciting.
Whats at stake? A full-time position in the kitchen of a new, high-profile restaurant. The winner of the competition will be sent to North
America for a fully-paid two-week training programme. In order to qualify, contestants must simply submit a short video explaining their
passion for food. It must be submitted anytime between March 12th and April 12th.
From those videos, it will be narrowed down to a group of eight final contestants, who will be asked to prepare dishes, live, for a panel of
experienced and influential judges. The most talented three will be invited for interviews and additional skills tests in order to help the judges
pick a winner.
So readers; if you feel like you have what it takes to be a full-time chef at a new, innovative restaurant, dont let this opportunity slip by. Get
those camcorders out, and send your videos in. You can submit them and find more information here https://www.challenge-
melondon.com/index.html.
Good luck! And may the best chef win.

Win A Job As A Chef For A New London Restaurant
With all of the high ratings attached with cookery shows and Masterchef-style cook-offs, it's hardly surprising that the catering world is looking to create its
own competition to capitalise on this type of recruitment trend.

First up is ME. No, not me-me, Alwynne Gwilt, but luxury hotel chain, ME by Meli, the flagship ME London hotel by Meli, opening on the Strand in the
West End this summer, with spectacular views across the River Thames (as seen in the artist's impression above).

Meli already reside in London at The Meli White House near Regent's Park - home to Spanish restaurant, L'Albufera, as well as The Place restaurant - but
this Thames-side venture will be the first under the ME by Meli banner.

ME by Meli hope to find one chef for its new restaurant from the general public, based purely on the candidate's vociferous appetite for all things culinary
and competition.

How to win a job as a chef at the new Thames-side London restaurant

Between now and 12th April, anyone - read: you, me, even your Nan - can submit a video to the ME website explaining why you should be shortlisted and
why you're passionate about food.

Eight lucky people will be chosen to go onto the next round during which you'll cook for a panel of judges, including Fabio Gallo, the ME London GM, and
Jon Yantin of the The One Group. The winner gets a full time position in the kitchens of the restaurant at ME along with a fully-paid two-week training
course in North America.

So, the question is: do you have what it takes to become the next star of the culinary world? If so, head to www.challenge-melondon.com

You may want to investigate the standard of cuisine that you'll be expected to cook for the judges, so be smart and take a visit to the Meli Spanish
restaurant, L'Albufera. Book a table simply by using the booking form below. Research has never been this fun.

Good luck!

ME London asks chefs to submit Masterchef-style video to land commis role

Spanish hotel brand Melia is hoping to find a commis chef for its new ME London hotel by asking potential candidates to
submit a Masterchef-style video of themselves in which they can demonstrate their passion for food.

A commis chef who wows judges in their video could work in the kitchen for the new restaurant
at Melia's ME London hotel
The 173-bedroom hotel, which will open on The Strand this July, has started a major
recruitment drive for staff with the unusual method of a video CV being used to find one new
member of the kitchen team.
To enter the ME.N.U challenge, chefs will need to submit a short video of themselves
explaining their passion for food by 12 April 2012.
From the submitted entries, eight hopefuls will be chosen to prepare dishes live for a panel of
judges that will include ME London's new general manager Fabio Gallo, the hotel's head of HR
Robert Dunning, Jon Yanti of recruitment company The One Group and Springboard chief
executive Ann Pierce.
Judges will shortlist three candidates who will be invited for an official interview and final skills tests before a winner is chosen. The finalist
will not only win a full-time job in the kitchen at ME London but will also be sent to the US to take part in a two-week training programme.
Gallo said: Core to the ME brand is the notion that each hotel should engage with the unique character of its surrounding city. What better
way to ensure that our hotel is infused with a vibe that is truly London than to throw open this opportunity to ambitious and talented locals?

The hot list: A new wave of hotels hits London

Thanks to two rather big events taking place in London this year, 2012 is definitely the capital's time to shine. While the city is already jam-packed with
world-famous hotels, the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics have sparked a rapid increase in new developments all over the place, from Regent's Street to
the East End. Take a look below to find out more about the newest names in London.

Hotel: The Wellesley, opening November 2012
Where: Knightsbridge
USP: 1920s art deco meets city sleek decor. Sip on cocktails in the Jazz Bar or light up in The Cigar Room before heading to one of the 36 decadent
bedrooms - or perhaps even the Penthouse Suite - for a good night's sleep. We're talking six star luxury here.
What's the damage: No word yet but our guess is this Hyde Park Corner location will put it in the pricey bracket.

Hotel: ME London, opening July 2012
Where: The Strand
USP: Designed by Foster + Partners, this contemporary hotel is the latest project from the Spanish hotel group, Melia Hotels International. It's 157
bedrooms will make it a popular stop off for tourists this Summer, but we'll be heading to the rooftop bar for some of the best views of the city.
What's the damage: The prices haven't yet been released but we're expecting reasonable rates for a central location.

Title: MyDaily.co.uk
Date: 13
th
April 2012

The hotel: Belgraves, now open
Where: Belgravia - a stone's throw away from Sloane Square
USP: The Thompson group have recently opened their latest hotel, aimed to be "a second home for guests and glitterati alike" and with its SW1 location,
there's a chance you'll bump into some of the most glamorous guests in London. It boasts a chic, sleek style with subtle hints of cosiness (roaring fires,
patterned rugs, comfy sofas) and foodies will be happy with the in-house restaurant - Hix Belgravia.
What's the damage: King Deluxe Rooms are around 260 a night.

The hotel: The Ampersand, now open
Where: South Kensington
USP: There are 111 bedrooms here, but it has retained a boutique hotel feel with quirky, colourful decor and luxe rooms inspired by the local area - from the
Royal Albert Hall to Chelsea Gardens. Our favourite feature? The cellar-turned-restaurant, Apero, which serves up Mediterranean treats daily.
What's the damge: Double rooms start at 125 a night and range up to 245 for a Deluxe Studio.

This summer ME London is set to shake up Londons high-end hotel scene when it opens on The Strand in July overlooking Somerset House. Having taken
over the historic BBC Marconi building, ME will be the UK flagship hotel for the ME by Meli brand and will be designed by Foster + Partners.
Were talking 157 rooms and suites plus a luxurious two floor suite that opens onto the roof terrace in the turret of the building. There will be two
restaurants and a bar on the ground floor - including the first British incarnation of Steakhouse concept STK and theres also a partially-covered rooftop
terrace bar boasting fantastic 180 degree panoramic views of the capital.
Each guest's stay will be orchestrated by a dedicated Aura Experience Manager (AEM). The name of the game, we suspect, is tapping into your inner
psyche so ME knows what you want before you do. And yes that includes securing you the hottest tickets in town and knowing you like a salted caramel
choccie on your pillow.
ME has just finished the first stage in an X-Factor style ME.N.U. challenge for a full time position in the kitchen beginning with a fully-paid two-week
training programme in North America. Contestants submitted a short video of themselves explaining their passion for food. Eight hopefuls will be chosen to
prepare dishes live before a panel of judges. There will also be recruitment events for front-of-house, supervisor and management roles with successful
applicants invited to attend a ME Factor talent day 23-27 April.
Meli Hotels International was founded in 1956 in Palma de Mallorca and is one of the worlds largest resort hotel chains. There are currently ME Hotels in
Madrid, Barcelona, Cancun, Cabo with and a ME Vienna set to open in 2013.
