Hotel

Article Abstract:

A blend of the majesty of the past and the conveniences of the present is evident in the design of the Covent Garden Hotel. Situated in the heart of London, England, the hotel is the most ambitious project of the Firmdale Hotels group. From an obscure red brick hospital, designer Kit Kemp was able to transform the Covent Garden Hotel into what looks like a charming and intimate English country house on the outside. However, its interiors boast of elegance, style and modern conveniences.
