The logistics of operating a 24 bed hotel within a listed building are a challenge and the spaces, services and circulation routes were critical to sleep feed and wash over 50 people a night.

The new breakfast room doubles up as The Buttery that is open to the public during the day.

The Buttery is a rustic-chic café restaurant in the heart of Belgravia with a fabulous country garden for all day dining.

Their laid-back menus offer delicious breakfasts, brunch favourites and seasonal lunch and dinner plates, complemented by the finest London-roasted coffee from The Gentlemen Baristas, a selection of classic cocktails and a wine list featuring produce from some of the pre-eminent British vineyards.

The original features of the building were restored and miles of surface mounted cables and ducts relocated.

This restored the feeling of a late Georgian early Victorian domestic reception room.
