Completed in 2018, the hotel now offers a range of luxurious, accessible bathrooms so that all guests are able to enjoy a first-class stay regardless of their requirements. This made-to-order, tailored approach in fact created the most challenging aspect of this project as Fitzroy of London were required to work within a relatively small budget yet still produce the level of quality and customisation to meet the exacting standards of the hotel. The products have since received hugely positive reviews, for providing accessible accommodation that not only exceeds current building regulations, but also ensures that guests have a first-rate experience that is reflective of the design, quality and luxury elsewhere in the hotel.

Materials that help bring nature indoors and combine with those of a rustic theme are on-trend as 2020 begins. The strong veining of marble-effect surfaces, such as CRL Quartz, add visual interest and are now often used to create a focal point in one particular area of the kitchen, perhaps topping an island unit or splash back. With the industrial-style kitchen set to be a key trend in 2020, materials to soften the edges of otherwise harsh lines will be popular. Surfaces such as Ceralsio Ferro Vecchio which adopts the appearance of poured concrete and combines brilliantly with raw materials such as exposed brickwork and metals with a brushed finish are perfect for this.
