Strand Palace
Hospitality
Information
An historic hotel located at the heart of London’s vibrant ‘Theatreland’, Strand Palace has been a West End landmark for more than a century, attracting thousands of tourists eager to experience the sights and sounds of the capital.
Dating back to 1909, the hotel was first rejuvenated in the 1930s, and has since undergone a second stunning transformation to reflect the Art Deco movement that was characteristic of its heyday.
Working with Trevillion Interiors, Area Sales Manager Lee Simmonds helped to breathe new life into the venue, with Solus’ presence seen throughout the contemporary revamp.
Greeting guests at the entrance are the opulent quartzite-effect Hamptonian tiles from the Rawstone range, the undulating charcoal appearance of which provides a dramatic first impression.
Bespoke steps composed of gleaming white and silver-veined Wyatt tiles, tipped with edges of cinder toned Allegra, both from the Marbalite 1 range, lead into the lobby. The custom-crafted ascent is illuminated by underfloor LED lighting, exuding an aura of luxurious sophistication.
The honed tiles also grace the reception area where Allegra randomly features throughout the design, creating a geometric pattern within the body of its counterpart.
The understated essence of Style Moderne continues in Haxells plush restaurant and bar where a sense of cohesion is created thanks to the repetition of Allegra and Wyatt, with the addition of the bronze dappled Kinlough, also from Marbalite 1, which lend a theatrical curved apron around the counter.
The bespoke-cut design acts as an eye-catching focal point as well as providing a dynamic distinction between the drinking and dining areas.
