Scott Brownrigg refurbishes two Hyatt hotels in London
Scott Brownrigg has completed the refurbishment of the 225-room Hyatt Regency London Stratford and 125-room Hyatt House London Stratford in East London. Located within an existing single building on the edge of Westfield Stratford City, the new Hyatt Regency provides a stylish destination for both business and leisure while Hyatt House provides a new home from home for those on extended stays.
The refurbishment follows a new management agreement between an affiliate of Hyatt and Stratford City Hotels Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of M&L Hospitality, identifying Hyatt Regency and Hyatt House as the right brands for the location.
The interior design mirrors the connectivity of Stratford, with subtle nods to the Victorian Golden Age of train travel. Archways, typical of London’s railway, form entrances to common spaces and inspire bespoke detailing throughout, while a rich palette of brass light fittings, marble fixtures and luxury velvet furnishings alongside jewel colours offer a contemporary take on the glamour and travel of the 1920’s.
“We worked closely with M&L Hospitality and the wider design team to create a new destination in Stratford,” says David Mason, Director at Scott Brownrigg. “With a nod to the glamour and elegance of travel, we wanted to connect people back together and design fabulous spaces for work, rest and play.”
Following this theme, a spacious lobby on the third floor features a range of seating arrangements ideal for socialising or meetings during the day, and intimate dining and cocktails at night. Bar and dining booths, with fixed seating and contemporary fluted detailing, are an understated nod to a Victorian railway carriage and provide an elegant feature along the perimeter of each space. Guests also enjoy access to meeting space, gym and an open-air terrace.
Felicity Black Roberts, Vice President of Development for Europe at Hyatt, comments: “The addition of these two hotels will be another exciting step in growing Hyatt’s brand presence in the UK and in creating a network of hotels across the key commercial and leisure markets in the country.”
Guestrooms at Hyatt Regency feature fresh interiors with splashes of bold colours and brass fittings, including bespoke pill lights and details on the mini bar area. Hyatt House rooms meanwhile provide modern, apartment-style suites with fully equipped kitchens and flexible workspaces. Where possible, existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing services have been retained and refurbished. Low-lit corridors and different room lighting options help contribute to the peaceful atmosphere.
