HotelDesigns Miniview: Hotel Bosco in Sweet Spot

London is a kind of negative of a donut as far as locating hotels is concerned. There is a huge cluster in the centre where the hole of the donut is, and then the ring that makes the donut is a negative space with few hotels within it, like specks of sugar on the ring. Outside the ring in the south eastern counties of England hotel supply is still low but begins to be more in line with demand. London suburbs however are a relative desert.

Into this desert, a new flower blooms, a new piece of sugar on the donut ring. A conversion of a redundant office block, the Hotel Bosco opened its bedroom, meeting rooms and bright airy bistro restaurant for business at the end of May. Inevitably with the lack of provision of quality rooms in the Kingston area, Bosco has had no problem filling its 20 bedrooms, and there is good demand for the meeting rooms too. Judicious mix of timber and carpet, good lighting and strong use of pattern all contributes to an interior that is stylish and contemporary.
