Patterns in the monochromatic flooring throughout the public areas provide an evocative sense of history whilst not trying to recreate a particular era . Due to the requirement for a technical upgrade to the wiring and plumbing the design team also took the opportunity to replan and redecorate the bathrooms .
Whilst retaining their own personality , the Shoreditch restaurant , Harvey ’ s bar and the courtyard now have a more unified design feel to that the guests can circulate from one space to the next and still experience a holistic design throughout .
Just beyond the courtyard The Constance Room offers boutique conferencing facilities , overlooking the refurbished pool terrace , which features bold black-and-white striped sun loungers and new landscaping . A reimagined wellness spa is also in the pipeline , with opening planned for early-2022 .
“ In all of these refreshed public spaces returning guests will immediately feel at home , and recognise the long-established charm and character of the property ,” says General Manager Michael Liffmann . “ Although some of the changes are bold , the DNA of The Winchester Hotel remains the same . We ’ ve really worked hard to retain the heart and soul of the property , while giving this grand old lady a fresh new look .”
The newly re-imagined Winchester Hotel stands ready to welcome future generations with a nod to the past but firmly with an eye to the future .
