Marriott reopens County Hall
Marriott Hotels, the flagship brand of Marriott International, has announced the grand re-opening of its London Marriott Hotel County Hall, following the completion of a multi-million pound transformation.
Set on London’s South Bank, County Hall offers guests a panoramic view of London that takes in the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the River Thames and the London Eye.
Led by RPW Design, the hotel’s redesigned interiors combine contemporary hotel design and luxurious functionality with inspiration from the heritage and elegance of the building. All suites include upgraded bathroom facilities, entrances with tiled mosaic flooring and bespoke wallpaper featuring a historic map of London from the era of the building’s infancy.
Soft furnishings and subtle plays on iconic London landmarks are featured throughout, including tributes to the building’s history. The hotel’s orange chairs, for example, pay homage to the seating used in the chamber of the former London County Council, while the bowler hat prints on curtain fabrics echoes London’s business culture.
Matthew Carroll, Vice President, Marriott Hotels, comments: “Marriott Hotels has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in travel to create experiences that inspire and push our guests’ creativity. London Marriott County Hall is the perfect combination of historic charm and intuitive design.”
Set at the foot of Westminster Bridge, the 206-guestroom London Marriott County Hall makes the most of its heritage and premier location in the heart of London. The hotel offers guests spacious guestrooms with riverside views, as well as subtly integrated technology.
Govert Deketh, General Manager, London Marriott Hotel County Hall concludes: “Our transformation perfectly captures the essence of great British style whilst also delivering an elevated and modern hotel experience. That, together with our building’s incredible history and our exceptional riverside views, now places us as one of the most sought after properties in London.”
A destination in itself, the hotel offers a unique experience with facilities that include a health club with a 25-metre pool, fine British dining at Gillray’s Steakhouse & Bar, the Noes Lobby Champagne bar, the Leader’s Bar & outside terrace and afternoon tea in the Library Lounge. For business and Marriott Rewards members there is also a new Executive Lounge with riverside views and complimentary amenities. The hotel also boasts 10 event and meeting rooms with the option to book private dining events in historic surroundings.
