The Lanesborough London The No 1 Bespoke Furniture Contractor
- HELLO OF MAYFAIR INTERIORS-
Commanding a prestigious position at Hyde Park Corner, The Lanesborough stands as a paragon of London’ s luxury hospitality. Widely regarded as one of the capital’ s most iconic five-star establishments, the hotel is distinguished by its effortless blend of Regency-era splendour and modern refinement.
Described as possessing a distinctive“ Regency spirit,” The Lanesborough’ s interiors pay elegant tribute to a bygone age, brought to life through impeccable design and masterful craftsmanship. Every element within its walls contributes to an atmosphere of cultivated grace— and none more so than the hotel’ s newest centrepiece: a bespoke concierge desk.
Tasked with reimagining the principal concierge desk, Hello of Mayfair Interiors approached the commission with reverence for the hotel’ s illustrious architectural heritage and a commitment to innovation. The objective was to design a piece that would sit in harmonious dialogue with the building’ s 19th-century character, while seamlessly integrating the functionality demanded by today’ s discerning guests.
With over 20 years of experience in the creation of fine bespoke furniture, our studio’ s artisans crafted a stunning reinterpretation of a classic antique design. The result is a concierge desk that speaks fluently in the language of timeless design, elevated with discreet, state-of-the-art technology to enhance both form and function.
From the grandeur of public rooms to the subtle luxury of the suites, The Lanesborough’ s interiors rely on curated pieces that define the guest journey. This latest addition— a stately fusion of mahogany and rosewood— serves as the guest’ s first tactile encounter with the hotel’ s narrative of elegance.
Designed with meticulous attention to both detail and practicality, the desk features twin 16- inch touchscreen monitors with motorised tilt functionality( 15 – 30 degrees), allowing for remote or manual adjustment. Drawers are carefully conceived with integrated locking systems and built-in mobile and tablet charging stations. A suite of 14 concealed power points, including USB-A and USB-C ports, ensures effortless connectivity. Sophisticated LED lighting, with customisable colour settings, subtly enhances the ambiance and visual harmony of the space.
At Hello of Mayfair Interiors, our signature lies in the pursuit of traditional craftsmanship, preserved through generations of artisanal skill. Every joint, curve, and surface of this concierge desk is the product of time-honoured woodworking techniques, realised with the precision required by luxury hospitality.
The final creation is both evocative of The Lanesborough’ s rich past and perfectly attuned to its present— a masterstroke of design that conveys prestige, permanence, and a warm welcome.
More than a point of service, this concierge desk is a symbol of identity and style— a curated statement of The Lanesborough’ s commitment to excellence, sophistication, and the art of first impressions.
