Citadines Suites Louvre Paris

Ascott International asked BuckleyGrayYeoman to transform the interior spaces of a remarkable early 20^th century building in the heart of Paris to create this boutique 5 star Apart’hotel.

Located just minutes from the Louvre Museum, this boutique serviced residence consists of 51 luxurious one-bedroom and studio apartments over 7 floors. Custom-made furniture and furnishings were created specifically for the interiors whilst retaining the building’s period features.

Guests enter Citadines Suites Louvre through a dramatic double-height lobby space. A large skylight frames views of the atrium overhead, creating a light-filled, open space to welcome guests. Notable design features, including the restored floor mosaic and modern laser-cut metal ceiling, create a space were craftsmanship and contemporary design meet.

The design of Citadines Suites Louvre creates a ‘home from home’ feel through an acute attention to detail. The apartments are fitted with bespoke hand-tuffed rugs, solid plaster relief wallpaper and oak parquet flooring, giving the feel of a luxury Parisian residence.

The newly completed Citadines Suites Louvre has recently been long listed in the Hotels category of the World Interiors News Awards 2014. The full long list is available to view here.

Hospitality Interiors: Q&A with Paul White

‘From the Ascott Louvre, through Citadines Apart’hotels in Frankfurt and Hamburg, to a striking Nando’s restaurant in Dundee…Buckley Gray Yeoman is going from strength to strength in the hospitality sector.’

Paul’s profile article has been featured in the March – April edition of Hospitality Interiors magazine.

The Rosebery

BuckleyGrayYeoman have completed an £8 million revamp of a former industrial building in Clerkenwell, transforming it into The Rosebery, a serviced apartment hotel for long stay guests.  The hotel has 58 serviced apartments, as well as a wine bar and furniture showroom on the ground floor. A rooftop extension has added two new floors to the existing four-storey building. BuckleyGrayYeoman worked with designer Susan Walters on the interiors, using British tweed textiles and furniture.

The aim was to form a dialogue between old and new, creating architectural additions that enhanced the character of the existing building. The result is a confident piece of contemporary design that sensitivity reinterprets the building, creating a new destination for leisure and shopping. BuckleyGrayYeoman drew upon their considerable experience in designing apart’hotels and other hospitality projects but were also influenced by their work in the high-end residential sector, creating first class accommodation for business travelers.

The Rosebery

The scaffolding comes down from the new Supercity boutique apart’hotel in Clerkenwell, to open in September 2012. The original building on Rosebery Avenue was split up into a number of separate, smaller buildings. Buckley Gray Yeoman’s design rationalises the internal space, whilst also making a new main entrance, stair and lift core for the building, linking all levels, with two new floors added at 4th and 5th floor levels and office spaces to the rear. These combined works make a new stylish 50,000 sq ft building with 59 luxury suites.
