o audition required. No acting experience necessary. The Actor’s Penthouse is available to any guest accepting the role of ‘Sophisticate about Town’.

The scene is a sumptuous suite with an elegant oak-panelled lobby, spacious lounge and sweeping staircase leading to a generous bedroom, bathroom and dressing area. From the blue-painted raised and fielded panelling to the deep, soft sofa, the designer’s artistic eye is apparent. This is no stage or film-set, however, but a comfortable, welcoming residence with fully operational fireplaces, granite bathrooms and a private balcony. Practical, stylish lighting, dark parquet flooring and hand-finished rugs add real warmth and luxury-living ambiance.

At the same time, befitting its title, The Actor’s Penthouse brings a touch of theatre to our guests’ London residence. The imposing desk is ideal for studying the latest batch of scripts or examining a contract’s small-print and the bespoke cocktail cabinet makes an awesome backdrop when entertaining movie moguls or showbiz impresarios. In the bathroom of Zimbabwe black granite and white Sivec granite, the multi-mirror effect makes sure guests look their best from any camera angle.

The TV is centrally located above the cocktail cabinet.

A large 2.3m-high folding mirror runs along the back of the room behind the sofa. This bespoke folding screen with bevel edged mirror has been fabricated from polished stainless steel. Another original furniture piece is a Ralph Lauren floor lamp with walnut base and nickel light head detail. This is designed around the theme of a floodlight or tripod theatre lighting. In addition there are Holly Hunt hand-forged metal and granite side tables to each side of the sofa, which coordinate with the metal features on the upholstered coffee table as well as the light fittings on top of the side tables.
