To comply with Westminster Council’s request to include public artwork, the Hyde Park elevation features a large full height artwork of undulating burnished metal panels stretching from the first to eighth floors.

The challenge of the project was to explore solutions that could turn a 1960’s building into a sustainable project for the 21st Century. The scheme has benefited from pioneering fire strategy solutions. It’s the first hotel in London with a single internal staircase, maximizing the available space to allow for a maximum amount of rooms and a double height restaurant and bar.
