The project consisted of the complete strip out of the 142 bedrooms, all public corridors, restaurants, toilets & kitchens. It also included the upgrade of the existing reception and conference areas as well as all back of house areas. A full upgrade of all the existing services and joinery was carried out to comply with the building regulations; this involved installing over a hundred new fire dampers, a full new fire alarm system and emergency lighting and modifying every door in the building.

The project had two distinct phases; Preconstruction & Construction, both requiring perfect execution in order to achieve the programme.
