Novotel Canary Wharf is a Koncept designed, stylish, 39 storey hotel which comprises a state of the art gym and pool, 9 fully equipped meeting rooms, a contemporary restaurant, bar and roof terrace with panoramic views across London.
The Design:
Canary Wharf was once a thriving port, alive with the smell, taste and touch of exotic spices, tea, rum, coffee and silk which were imported from the West and East Indies. Novotel London Canary Wharf is a Hotel inspired by the industrial Martime age and Canary Islands. Throughout the building there are references to the ports rich heritage. From the use of authentic materials, patterns and textures coupled with the bespoke contemporary furniture, a truly unique interior has been created which is true to its roots, delighting the senses and bringing the industrial past in to the present.

Novotel, Brentford
Working closely with the operator we have developed the new brand Novotel, embracing their new hospitality concept of ‘living heart lobby’, the spatial design was integral to ensure it flowed as one space, with multiuse pockets for dining, drinking, relaxing or working. Cutting edge technology also offer the guest a new check in experience, now wireless and not anchored to a reception desk, the interaction is done by tablet in any area.
Rural in the city – links nature and ‘tree of life’ concepts offering guests an urban retreat, with the use of pattern, materials and fabrics, this has been fused with a minimal undertone of the building backdrop: seamless concrete floors and floor to ceiling windows offer daylight & spatial awareness.
