Hard Rock stone
11th November 2019
stoneCIRCLE was commissioned by Beck Interiors, the main contractor to fabricate and install the stone for the transformation of the Cumberland Hotel into the Hard Rock Hotel, London.
The concept by Scott Brown Rigg, principal designer, derived from the deconstruction of music and fashion – the layers that go into the creation of music, fashion, architecture and art."
The hotel has an extensive business clientele, and the decor had to meet their high expectations of a 4-star hotel in the London market whilst also incorporating the music memorabilia that epitomises the Hard Rock brand.
The hotel bar was awarded Best Bar/Club/Lounge – Europe at the International Hotel and Property Awards on 28 June 2019 and was also a finalist for Best Club and Bar Design at the SBID International Design Awards 2019.
The bar tops were in Blue Lennon granite, a fitting choice given the musical context.
Reception desks were completed in Silestone Calacatta Gold quartz.
stoneCIRCLE also supplied and installed the large porcelain floor tiles which cover most of the 1500m² floor area, the Noir St Laurent marble vanity tops and the tiling to the walls in the public restrooms.
