great scotland yard hotel
A STORIED LONDON LANDMARK
In a former life, the Great Scotland Yard Hotel, London, once served as the headquarters for Britain’s Metropolitan Police Forces, where many of London’s criminals met their fate. Deemed a historic landmark, it has undergone a £75 million renovation, transforming it from a storied jailhouse to a 153-room five-star hotel.
Our projects team was engaged to produce furniture for the majority of the hotel’s spaces, including a highly detailed statement-making table for one of their bars. The highlight of the showpiece are the 15 beech wood turned legs, shaped with a lathe to ensure a symmetrical base, and finished in an elegant maroon gloss. Atop the majestically crafted base sits an impressively long table top made from tempered low iron with a glass finish. The table also features LED lighting and drawers whose handles and keyholes are finished in antique brass - a reference back to the building’s police and military past.
