Interiors being created by GA Design
Corinthia Hotels has released design details about the five-star luxury hotel it is building in central London, which is due to open in early 2011. The locale, which will become the luxury chain's ninth unit, will be housed in a Victorian building on a city block overlooking Trafalgar Square and the River Thames.
Corinthia officials say the building's interior will house “fully-reconstructed elegant and contemporary interiors” set around an inner foyer and garden, including 294 guest rooms, two restaurants, a luxury spa, a concept cocktail bar, boardroom meeting facilities and a refurbished grand ballroom.
Overseeing the interior design work is GA Design International, which is also creating the hotel's four-level ESPA spa, as well as the suites, public spaces and one of the two restaurants. Designer David Collins is creating the hotel's bar, Bassoon, and a specialty restaurant. The hotel will also house a restaurant by chef Massimo Riccioli, owner of La Rosetta in Rome.
“I am dedicating myself, personally and with great passion, to delivering to London a five-star, luxury hotel, which will be amongst the best-of-the-best in the world,” said Alfred Pisani, chairman and founder of the Corinthia Hotel Group. “Corinthia Hotel London will be a true grand hotel for the 21st century.”
