Design expertise
Guy Oliver – Oliver has put his stamp on many of the hotel’s suites and rooms, making subtle enhancements and improvements while retaining character and atmosphere.
David Collins – designer of the Connaught Bar, Collins was inspired by the original Edwardian architecture and English Cubist and Irish 1920s art. He also designed the hotel’s new penthouse, The Apartment, created for the well-travelled, with eclectic tastes in art, culture and literature.
India Mahdavi – based in Paris, Mahdavi aims for the spaces she designs to tell a story about their location. She has done this with both The Coburg Bar and Héléne Darroze at the Connaught by adding some elegant touches.
