Holloway Li has completed the interiors for hotelier Club Quarters and its iconic St Paul’s location, introducing a coffee shop and co-working space, while paying homage to the building’s rich post-war heritage. The project reflects experienced hotelier Club Quarters’ commitment to providing spaces that effortlessly adapt to the evolving needs of business and leisure travellers alike. The 265-room redesign embraces the architectural integrity of the original mid- century structure, incorporating warm and inviting hues, textured glass and vibrant accents into the classic framework. The result is a timeless, durable design intended to enhance the guest experience, offering a seamless blend of elegance, comfort and practicality against a culturally dynamic setting.


Holloway Li’s approach to the brief emphasised timeless detailing, personal touches, and seamless functionality, building on the brand’s core principles: eficient space planning, tailored moments and durable design. The guestrooms were designed to be adaptable across diverse room formats and types while maintaining a sharp focus on tailored details to elevate the guest experience. Striking a harmonious balance between contemporary and classic, Holloway Li’s design embarked on several bespoke set- piece collaborations, expressive of both form and function, to evoke and reflect the optimism of post-war design and craft. For the arrival experience, Holloway Li paid homage to the property’s existing architectural identity, enhancing its sense of place. The interior draws inspiration from the high-relief carved Portland stone facade and its unique cast-bronze
