HOTEL REVIEW
of a private mezzanine. Signalling the
start of the dining adventure, an ornamental screen crafted from French lace laminated between smoky glass is positioned at the main entrance, providing a sneak preview of what diners are about to experience. The subtly illuminated coffered ceiling reflects against herringbone-patterned oak flooring and fabric-panelled walls finished with millwork, while black leather banquettes and weighty wooden tabletops lend a sense of grandeur. Artwork comes in the form of fashion-styled photography reminiscent of Vogue shoots of the 1950s, plus a feature wall adorned with a Swarovski crystal-inlaid plaster frieze.
Other areas include the dual-level spa on
floors 31 and 32 where II BY IV has sparingly employed black accents against warm white walls and flooring that invite in the direct sunlight. Customised amethyst chandeliers, black lacquered armoires and graphic spiral art remove any sterility from the wellness facility, which is enhanced by an infinity-edge pool surrounded by white diamond marble slabs. A mention should also be made of the carefully conceived meeting and events floors for their sumptuous design elements,
from black crystal chandeliers to delicate wall sconces, from lambs tongue moulding to inlaid patterned ceilings. Spanning 19 levels of the tower, guest accommodation is generously appointed, with the smallest measuring 550ft2
.
“By taking classic elements but treating them in a contemporary way, and avoiding overstyling, we have looked to inject a timeless quality to the rooms,” Menchions points out. Rooms are each equipped with a wet bar topped with a blanche noir marble countertop, pewter leaf desk and Art Deco-influenced lamps in chrome finishes. Designed to mimic the effect of eyeliner, black lacquered millwork panels frame the beds encompassing tufted leather headboards and modern cherry blossom photography. Upholstered grey burl-effect wall panels and cream silk striya wallcoverings are lifted with colour pops of plum and aubergine selected for furniture and drapery. A classic damask pattern is to be found woven into selected guestroom and corridor carpets while leather, high-grade velvet quality fabric and Bellino linens are tactile choices, appropriate to stately homes. Maintaining continuity, white marble bathrooms are luxuriously enhanced with lacquered cabinetry inspired by travel trunks.
