Luxury lifestyle hotel, Middle Eight, is situated between Holborn and Covent Garden. Transformed from a humble city hotel into a luxury destination. The hotel’s 12 unique suites have been carved out of the windowless 1st floor space (formerly meeting rooms) to provide astonishing light filled spaces via internal, naturally lit courtyards. These spaces complement the 190 bedrooms which now cleverly provide junior suite facilities in every room.Public spaces are dominated by the use of natural materials including a stunning hand crafted reclaimed oak reception desk and a bar ceiling sculpted from thousands of sculpted metallic sycamore leaves. In the basement, a rediscovered space provides inspiration for local musicians and artists to perform as they do on the nearby piazza.We are proud to have been awarded the title of best restaurant design within a hotel in Europe for the design of Sycamore Vino Cucina at the Design Et Al International Hotel & Property Awards 2021.

This new build “Smart Hotel”,  elegantly fuses old and new, taking a look at traditional britishness through a 21st century looking glass.  Within each guest room, a fully mirror-clad bathroom enclosures becomes lost, increasing the sense of space within the rooms themselves. These beautifully crisp, contemporary design statements are softened by location-inspired traditional detailing seamlessly partnering luxury with technology. This design language is continued throughout the building with a cutting edge feature staircase, connecting the club-like lounge with a brasserie inspired restaurant in the basement.”,  elegantly fuses old and new, taking a look at traditional britishness through a 21st century looking glass.
