Repositioning this hotel from 3 stars to a 4+ star hotel was a challenge, and required the extension and complete refurbishment of this grade I listed building in Bath. As lead Architect Caroline oversaw the project and got involved in the design of all elements of the building & interiors.
Working closely with Helen Hooper Interiors Caroline oversaw the design of all the hotel rooms.
Entering the original hotel, your first view had been of the lift doors, with the reception desk in an adjoining room.
Caroline proposed relocation of the lift, allowing visitors to focus on the beautiful period features, and creating space to incorporate stylish, leather-clad reception pods to make boo
This shows views of one of the lounge areas. Working with some of the hotel's original artwork, the interiors are a contemporary interpretation of the decadence and elegance of the Regency period.
An illuminated glass panel to the end of the bar is printed with artwork of the period.
Beautiful gold mirrors and light fittings pick up colours in the wallpapers, whilst the chairs and tables had to be both robust and stylish.
Originally a very bland conference room down in the lower ground floor, this underwent the greatest transformation to become the hotels new breakfast room.
By bringing in period detailing such as panelling and coving, wallpapers and light fittings the space was given the same glamorous makeover as the rest of the building.
Caroline designed the black lacquered bedroom furniture and the bespoke carpet designs for all the bedrooms.
She brings her attention to detail, balanced with the ability to see the 'bigger picture' to every project.
Caroline's approach to the bedrooms in the original 'servants quarters' on the top floor, was to create quirky bedrooms that celebrated being 'up in the rafter'. Her design incorporated bespoke wallpaper featuring specially commissioned sketched scenes of bath's rooftops. In this way even the smallest bedrooms in this hotel feel special!
