Ace Hotel, London

Full M&E design and monitoring services on the conversion of a 4* 267-key Crowne Plaza into a boutique hotel, incorporating new restaurant, and back of house spaces and remodelling of guestrooms, reception/lobby bars and event spaces.

RED worked closely with the interior designers and architects to help create the specific artistic vision of the client and used low energy methods of design throughout. The lobby area in particular involved quite a versatile design as it acts as a social hub, place to work, and relax. It includes a full bar, café, work stations with integrated electrical services and meeting areas and it has proven to be a constant hive of activity since opening. The specification of all products were chosen carefully in tandem with the interior designers and client team.

The hotel opened in October 2013.  RED continued another Phase of the 7th floor meeting room works as part of a separate project completed in Summer 2014.

WINNER of Best Architectural Renovation – European Hotel Design Awards 2014.
