One Aldwych, London’s first five-star B Corp hotel, welcomes guests back with enhanced design and installation elements across the Lobby Bar and Indigo restaurant.

London-based designers Fabled Studio were invited back to the hotel to further re-imagine the seminal spaces, adding layers of modernity and heritage influence in equal measure.

Harnessing the progressive energy the hotel embodies, the new installation within the Lobby Bar is a bold design-art sculptural ceiling. This comprises a large-scale organic ceiling sculpture, while a flowing and amorphous metallicised texture ripples throughout the space. On the F&B side, there is a Gallery cocktail list of drinks inspired by individual pieces from the hotel’s large art collection.

Indigo restaurant has also been embellished with a further nod to the building’s heritage. Deep-set arched windows looking outward of the restaurant onto theatreland are now lined in English oak, embodying the texture and detail of the original historic and listed windows.

Modern lighting coffers and patterned wall coverings add layers of intimacy, while colourful and striking abstract art pieces are hung throughout the modern British brasserie. The restaurant reopens with a new spring menu from Executive Chef Dominic Teague packed with seasonal, British produce, in keeping with the hotel’s overarching ethos of championing the best of British makers and growers.

“At One Aldwych, we have been given an expansive creative freedom aligning with their bold vision, owing to the hotel’s independent status and spirit, and we are proud to add these modern embellishments to one of London’s most iconic hotels,” says Steven Saunders, Founder at Fabled Studio.

“These works mark an exciting period in One Aldwych’s evolution and have been led by our desire to continually adapt to guest demand and create the best possible experience, from style through to service,” concludes One Aldwych’s Managing Director, Janine Marshall. “We want our design to reflect our independence, as a brand and as a building, which we feel we have captured working with incredible design talent such as Fabled Studio, over the years.”
