A high level of architectural design was of paramount importance in the upgrade of the hotel, and this is evidenced in the quality and diversity of the interior elements.
The designers have retained many of the existing elements of the space, but brought them into the 21st century by refinishing and creating cleaner lines and stripping away and simplifying, for example the old 60’s wall panelling has been given a new lease of life with a coat of dark metallic paint, columns have been reclad and plain walls have been lifted with the use of colourback glass panels and glossy black Florence Broadhurst wallpaper. The central curved bar has been clad in stainless steel mosaic tiles, giving a glitzy feel to the area.
All the new furniture has a club/lounge feel, and they style of the furnishings flows through the various areas. The timer armed lounge chairs in the sunken lounge area match beautifully with the finer timber chairs of the lobby dining area and cafe.
Overall, the designers have cleverly uncovered the ‘good bones’ of the hotel and worked with existing elements, stripping away and building up to create a stunning new space.
The rooms, of which there are varying types and sizes, are clean and simple, with a modern, minimalist feel, the tones are warm and the furnishings comfortable. Ensuites have been given a lift with new finishes and fixtures in simple colours. |
