6 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
STUDIO PROOF
The bedside and coffee tables are made from
lacquered metal and bespoke mirrored glass
featuring a delicate inlay of silk organza, giving
a tantalising depth to the surfaces and softly
reflecting the light from the mid-century
inspired pendants and wall lamps, custom-
made by Heathfield & Co.
In the bathrooms, sleek white carrara marble
lines the walls and vanity surfaces, providing
a dynamic contrast to the stunning Antonio
Citterio design Hans Grohe tapware in the
shower area, whilst wooden drawers link back
to the guestroom décor.
PARK AND SPIRE SUITES
Similar in style to the guestrooms, the 15
Park and five Spire Suites sit at opposite ends
of the tower, facing Hyde Park and the city
respectively. The beauty of their positioning
means that they each benefit from dual or
treble aspects as well as substantially more
square meterage with five of the higher
floors completely remodelled to achieve
exceptionally spacious suites.
Each Park Suite offers a view with a
room, presenting guests with spectacular
panoramas from a retreat of ultimate comfort
and luxury. The scenes through the windows
in the bedroom are reflected in the large
sweeping mirror behind the king size bed,
bringing the location into the space. Lime-
washed pale oak panelling is prevalent in
both the bedroom and separate living areas.
A contemporary Moooi chandelier suggests
the branches of a tree, throwing dappled light
across the metal and glass Knoll ‘Platner’ table
below. This shimmer is echoed in the rich
velvets of the two bespoke sofas. Beautiful
modern metal and marble coffee and side
tables from Tacchini complete the seated
space, illuminated by tree-like brass framed
lamps.
The Spire Suites – so called because ten
church spires are visible from them – are
equally notable for their sophisticated style,
the scheme takes its cue from the “City
Rooms” palette of mustards and dark yellows.
Artwork is more metropolitan than in the
Park Suites and this style is also reflected in
the selection of the mathematically spherical
‘Raimond’ chandelier by Moooi, and the
hidden pocket door that divides the space.
LANCASTER AND ROYAL SIGNATURE
SUITES
Situated on the top floor, the two expansive
69m2 and 83m2 signature suites are the
jewels in the crown of the hotel. Their
positioning at either end of the tower means
that they each benefit from three exterior
walls lined with huge windows.
