Project: Municipal Hotel
Brief
Appointed by Russell WBHO, Hurst was commissioned to manufacture and install various bespoke joinery elements for a £45 million heritage refurbishment project. The project involved the transformation of the Grade II* listed Municipal Building in Liverpool, originally serving as local council offices, into a luxury four-star hotel for international hotel operator Fragrance Group.
The client had specific requirements for high-end joinery elements in multiple reception areas and Spa treatment rooms, which encompassed panelled archways, Lift Lobby panelling, library shelving, reception desks, tables, and distinctive focal points like the tall bar and banquette seating for the Botanic Tea Room. The primary challenge was to seamlessly integrate these new joinery elements with the original building’s historic features, preserving its timeless charm.
Result
Our client’s satisfaction with the quality of the joinery provided played a pivotal role in achieving a remarkable transformation of the Municipal Building in Liverpool. This success resulted from our close collaboration and meticulous attention to detail, especially in seamlessly integrating the new joinery and material elements with the wealth and scale of the building’s carefully restored historic features.
This coordinated effort significantly contributed to creating a luxurious atmosphere for hotel guests and stands as a source of pride for our entire team, who were delighted to be part of this grand and exciting project.
