This family run hotel has been in business for many many years, expanding from what started as 1 town house expanding into today’s 4 connecting town houses, facing onto the delightful Norfolk Square gardens.

The character-filled heritage building, positioned in the heart of historic Paddington, is a testament to Victorian architecture boasting charming period details. However, the interiors of the rooms and communal spaces were dated and needed to be lifted to today’s standards. Hence, the brief was to elevate and complement the beautiful and unique style of the building with an interior to match. An overall scheme blending the building's distinctive heritage with a contemporary twist was translated to the communal areas as well as each room having its own unique dimensions, layout and design, making every stay a truly distinct encounter for anyone visiting.
