The most striking architectural innovation is the upgrade of the main forecourt and entrance on Park Street. Here, ReardonSmith introduced two substantial cantilevered and lit-glass canopies rising over a newly ramped courtyard surfaced in Chinese granite. The effect is to lend the drama and gravitas of a world-leading hotel and, combined with a freshly cleaned façade, to restate the building’s Lutyens’ inspired inheritance.
Inside, all 446 guestrooms and suites have been refurbished and a further 48 rooms added, all designed to meet the luxury standards of JW Marriott. Both the ballroom and court suite have been refurbished, new meeting rooms created and all lounges and bars upgraded, as well as the reception lobby and the numerous corridors of the vast hotel.
