The bathrooms all featured misted glass sliding doors and had decor that hadn’t dated and still looked very modern. The windows were triple glazed with two separate frames, which managed to block out most of the noise. Only a tiny rumble could be heard from the street, which was not enough to keep anyone awake in bed at night.
All rooms featured a working desk made of oak and a comfortable chair. The studio rooms had couches on which to lounge in front of the television. Within a studio room there was a sharp, contemporary, metal four-bed poster.
There are plans to refurbish the entire hotel, starting with the top floor this year. The rolling programme will run with the hotel continuing to trade. HotelDesigns will be back to look at the results in this most quintessentially British hotel named after a most quintessentially British hero, Sherlock Holmes.
