OUR ROLE

Greenway Associates began feasibility and cost analysis for Number Sixteen in 2003. The hotel, located in London, remained operational throughout the renovation process. The extensive repairs, redecorations, and refurbishments took approximately a year to complete. By early 2005, the hotel had been rebranded and incorporated into the Firmdale Hotels portfolio, marking the successful conclusion of this major upgrade.

Subsequently, Greenway Associates provided initial costings for the addition of the Orangery, a tree-filled private garden at the rear of the hotel.

THE PROJECT

The project involved extensive repairs and upgrades to communal areas, corridors, the conservatory, and guest rooms. Significant modernization efforts included installing air conditioning, updating internet and data cabling, incorporating contemporary joinery, and replacing plumbing and sanitary ware. New windows and enhanced lighting were also added. The redecoration was completed in the signature classic Kit Kemp style. All repairs and improvements were meticulously supervised by Firmdale Hotels' dedicated maintenance team.
