The unique 16-storey building dubbed the ‘iceberg hotel’, spans six levels below ground making it the deepest habitable basement in London and one of the deepest in the world.

EE Smith was awarded the contract by Edwardian Hotels London, and the development will be filled with the fit-out specialist’s bespoke joinery, metalwork, doors, wall panelling and bathroom fit-outs.

EE Smith managing director Neil Bottrill said:

“This is a milestone project for EE Smith and we are very excited to work on such a large-scale development in the heart of London’s West End. It is our biggest ever contract win and is leading an expansion in our capacity like never before.”

“With cutting edge design by Yabu Pushelberg combined with Woods Bagot quality architecture, the interiors are beautifully unique, making us even more thrilled to be part of this iconic project.

“Our design development and production team are essential to the success of the manufacture of the unusual, cutting-edge concepts across the building, and we are now working around the clock to bring this innovative and diverse space to life.

“The Londoner Hotel will be an exciting project unveil for all parties involved and we hope all guests are overwhelmed by the quality and craftsmanship shown throughout the hotel, and look forward to its opening later this year.”
