Eccleston Square Hotel is putting on the final touches before its June debut in London. Architectural firm Woods Bagot has transformed a Georgian townhouse into a high-tech luxury retreat. Outfitted with a black crystal chandelier and herringbone-pattern floor tiles, the lobby houses a bar and restaurant serving French cuisine. In addition, a lounge featuring custom-made studded tub chairs, a fireplace, and silk-finished walls offers afternoon tea. Meeting rooms are tech-savvy with video conferencing capabilities and a 120-inch 3D media wall.
The hotel’s 39 guestrooms, some with private courtyards or balconies, feature adjustable massage beds from Swedish firm Hästens. Guests also have access to 3D LED TVs, Blu Ray players with 3D glasses, iPad2, and touch panels that control everything from the drapes to wake-up calls. Meanwhile, marble bathrooms are outfitted with smart glass walls that turn opaque at the touch of a button, as well as a TV incorporated into a heated, steam-proof mirror.
