The Landmark London, one of the UK capital’s most famous Victorian-era hotels, is undergoing an extensive renovation overseen by design studio Alex Kravetz.

Over the next two years, the hotel’s 291 guest rooms and spa and Health Club will be given a facelift as the hotel fights to compete in the city’s increasingly competitive luxury hospitality market.

In a bid to minimise disturbance, a small selection of guest rooms will be refurbished each month. The design team will add modern luxury amenities and a calming neutral colour palette.

In the early months of 2017 the spa’s three treatment rooms and 15-metre chlorine free indoor swimming pool will be refreshed, along with the health club gym.

“We want to continually invest time and effort into improving the hotel’s facilities to keep the hotel at the forefront of people’s minds as one of the leading in London,” said general manager Andrew Batchelor. “The renovations are all part of our journey to make the overall guest experience the best it can be.”

Located in the district of Marylebone, the Landmark London was the last of the city’s railway hotels. The Gothic structure was designed by architect Robert William Edis in the 19th century to be the most opulent hotel in the country.

Last August, the hotel’s ballroom and grand ballroom were renovated with new carpets, paintwork and marble restoration.
