Luxury Hospitality Magazine
Under the same ownership as Le Royal Monceau, Paris and The Savoy, London, The Adria’s 24 luxurious suites, rooms and lounges have been meticulously restored. Careful attention has been applied to the historic fabric of the illustrious building. Existing furniture has been up-cycled and re-upholstered in jewel toned velvets, breathing new life into original pieces which whisper of a rich history. Ceilings have been stripped back to reveal intricate cornicing details.

Acting as a contrast to the graceful original features, are custom-made, contemporary standout pieces. Guests are welcomed at the reception with its original black and white marble chequered floor, flanked by handcrafted custom lighting. Hung above the antique mirror backdrop is a piece of modern artwork by famed British Photographer David Bache, which depicts the nearby Burlington Gardens.

Encouraging guests to make themselves at home, the designers repurposed a space, previously the private dining room, and created a communal hotel ‘pantry’, stocked with an honesty bar and locallysourced treats.
