Conversion of existing 1950s office building into 186 bedroom 4 star hotel with restaurant, bar and gym facilities. Including demolitions, major extensions, building fabric remodelling, interior design, fit out & furniture design. Retention and refurbishment of Grade 1 listed section as office use, to remain occupied throughout.
Planning Consent obtained and preliminary enabling works complete.
ISA identified the opportunity to partially demolish and extend the central wing to increase room numbers and to resolve operational, servicing and level issues.
The building falls within the Inner Temple Conservation area, so detailed discussions have been held with the planning and conservation departments to achieve this.
The proposals seek to maximise the impact of the guest’s arrival from Fleet Street, through a listed classical courtyard, into a reception area that opens on to a sheltered central courtyard. This central courtyard, previously used for car parking, is turned into a integral part of the hotel, with the public spaces arranged around it.
The layout and design of the hotel celebrates the grandeur of the setting and the identifiable characteristics of the Inner Temple, allowing the guest a glimpse into the world of high court barristers for the duration of their stay.
