Cambridge House Hotel

Under Construction

The architecturally unique, Grade I listed, Cambridge House and adjacent buildings are being transformed into a new hotel.

The architecturally unique, Grade I listed, Cambridge House with Grade II listed 90-93 Piccadilly, Grade II listed 95 Piccadilly and adjacent sites are being transformed into a new hotel.
Centred around the historic, Palladian mansion with its portico and ballroom, the scheme combines restoration, retention and complementary new build. As one of the few great London town houses still surviving and used for more than a century as a private home, the central building was later used for more than a century as the HQ of the Naval and Military Club. It’s next chapter is now set as a luxury hotel with adjoining residences and extensive amenities. Accentuating the unique heritage of the site, the design weaves old and new with a sympathetic touch, adapting it to modern standards and user expectations.
The principal suites of hotel rooms are at first floor level of the mansion and retain the original ‘enfilade’ arrangement around the central stair. On the eastern side are lateral apartments with restaurant areas below, on the opposite side are bars and restaurants with further hotel accommodation above. A lower ground level and three basement levels accommodates wellness and leisure facilities and back of house and servicing.
Adapting a range of buildings into one coherent use brought many challenges. To provide an excellent guest experience and to support efficient and effective operations behind the scenes, the site required a careful design and layout arrangement.
The design stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence of heritage and new, preserving the past and paving the way for a sustainable and culturally enriched future.

“Central London's architectural tapestry is woven with a rich history of structures that stand as testaments to the city's heritage. Among these treasured gems, Cambridge House, a distinguished Grade I listed building, holds a special place as a window into the past. Saving and transforming this heritage asset as a centrepiece to this new hotel and adapting it and the adjoining buildings to new use will preserve it for people to enjoy long into the future, we are excited to see it open.”
