The new rooms epitomise high-concept design, while enhancing the guest experience through comfort and functionality. Interior designer Tim Andreas of Banjo Ad Inc paid homage to the original ethos of both hotels by blurring the lines between baroque and minimalist, extravagance and simplicity.

Sanderson’s redesigned rooms will exude a feeling of residential comfort, with custom additions like a new, built-in banquette offering an area to work, relax or dine. Tailor-made additions, including the Tchin Tchin chair will be present, while custom rugs and blackout shades elevate the room’s aesthetic, featuring hand painted designs on each.

The rooms will introduce a new sense of modern, paying tribute to the baroque era. “This design of Sanderson’s rooms distill a decidedly English decorative approach to modern luxury and comfort,” explains Andreas. The 150 guestrooms will also offer a more practical and convenient experience with elements such as additional USB charging stations, flat screen smart televisions and a media hub.

Meanwhile, the vibrant St Martins Lane is a 204-room urban resort situated in the heart of London’s theatre district. Juxtaposing the electrifying lobby scene, the guestrooms offer a sensuous and luxurious sanctuary. Expressing an experiential approach to minimalism, Andreas uses the expansive floor-to-ceiling windows as a backdrop to low and simple furnishings to create the feeling that guests are floating over the city.

Continuing with the whimsical feel, Andreas installed a mini bar with mirrors for a see-through effect. Similar to Sanderson, St Martins Lane will also offer a more practical and convenient experience with high-tech elements.

Tim Andreas has a rich history with Morgans Hotel Group, working on projects including Sky Bar at Mondrian Los Angeles and Shore Club South Beach, the Penthouse at Mondrian Los Angeles and the renovation of guestrooms at Delano South Beach.
