ReardonSmith plans London hotels
ReardonSmith Architects has received planning consent for two London property’s: 22 Grosvenor Square and Flemings Mayfair hotel.
ReardonSmith will be Lead Architect in the conversion of a listed Edwardian office building on Grosvenor Square as well as an adjacent property in Lees Place into a 30-key hotel to be operated by Blakes Management. The scheme includes a 120-cover Parisian style brasserie and a private members club and bar. The vision is for a high-end boutique hotel, which together with the all-day dining restaurant will be a social and cultural hub.
Further, ReardonSmith has secured planning and listed building consents for a series of exterior and interior enhancements at Flemings Mayfair hotel. An improved entrance experience at the Half Moon Street aspect will include a streamlined drop-off and collection point for taxis, as well as a gated smoking terrace with outdoor seating. From Clarges Street, a new lower ground entrance into the hotel’s restaurant will be framed by a portico designed to match the current building, with access facilitated by a new staircase.
Composed of a series of circá 1730 townhouses which were converted into Flemings in 1851, the hotel is noted for its combination of Georgian external architecture and contemporary internal design. During the renovation, the hotel will also benefit from internal works that will bring the property up to current standards, including new decoration, furnishings and fittings.
