The brief from the client was simple; they wanted
 a 21st Century ‘Grand Hotel’.

Originally an imposing Victorian-era Grand Hotel, the project presented a very rare and unique gift in that the decades of MoD use resulted in there being no heritage listing on the building. The core objective was to leave the exterior unaltered, but internally to identify the base structure and recognise the potential hidden behind layers of chaotic adjustments and insertions.

A commitment to authentic craftsmanship gives Corinthia London the timeless appeal of a true classic – a place that feels comfortable in its own skin, and which imbues the guest with a similar feeling of composure.

Chandelier Details

Conceived as a grand ‘garden’ room, the lobby lounge features a 5.8 metre ceiling and a spectacular seven metre central glass dome with a Baccarat ‘full moon’ chandelier, comprised of 1001 individual crystal orbs.

Reception

The magnificent piece of art behind the reception desk replicates the river Thames meandering through London, with the hotel’s location at the centre of the piece.

Lift detail

The bronze clad detailing on the lift doors are cast from molds of actual leaves found within St. James Park.

Guestrooms

The original intention was to choose just one of the two guestroom concepts, however, both designs were so well received that the Client chose to develop both.

Penthouse

Seven exquisite penthouse suites utilise the upper floor spaces and unrivalled turret areas. Each subtly-themed penthouse delivers a bespoke experience, with inspiration from an imagined Georgian London street and the different people that might have lived there - the writer, the musician, the actor, the explorer.
