What a façade!
The exterior of a prestigious London hotel has been completely refreshed by the team from Novus Property Solutions. Located in the heart of Kensington, the Park International Hotel is a
contemporary 171-bedroom hotel housed in a stunning converted Georgian style town house, one of 148 gold standard serviced accommodation, hotel residences and boutique lifestyle hotels owned by Frasers Hospitality Group. The hotel’s beautiful white painted façade is in keeping with the building’s
Georgian heritage and reflects the style of the street, creating the perfect first impression for hotel guests as they arrive. With a date set for a VIP guest to visit the hotel, the redecoration of the exterior paintwork had to be completed to a strict five week deadline from start to finish. Seven operatives from Novus’ Leighton Buzzard office repainted the
front façade of the hotel on the ground and first floors up to the balcony height, in addition to all the windows, doors, steps and metal railings.
Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry paint was used for the blockwork.
Undercoat and gloss from the Dulux Weathershield range was applied to the metal railings as well as the exterior windows and doors to ensure a long-lasting, weather-resistant finish for the hotel. A two part water-based Epoxy floor paint from Johnstone’s was used
for the hotel’s steps with a powder applied in between coats to create the anti-slip effect and ensure a hard hardwearing finish was achieved. The project also posed the challenge of access due to its location on an
extremely busy road in the middle of Kensington. Jamie Grant, contracts agent from Novus commented, “The timescale was
very tight and there was no scope for delay due to the chairman’s visit, but we rose to the challenge to deliver it on time. While we had to work around the clock to complete, the team were constantly mindful of hotel staff and guests to ensure that the works didn’t cause any disruption.”
