The Hardiman Hotel (formerly the Hotel Meyrick) is a protected structure and has been a fixture of the landscape of Eyre Square since the 1850s. Our client specifically required that the hotel remain operational during the works. This necessitated the public areas to be refurbished in a highly coordinated and controlled sequence of steps, completely revitalising the front-of-house areas of the hotel while practically imperceptible to hotel guests. The works included the redesign of the Gaslight restaurant into a spacious and elegant dining area, reception transformation and the Oyster Bar capacity was increased and extensively refurbished to include a new cocktail bar. The project also included the conversation of meeting rooms into bedrooms and extensive refurbishment to all existing bedroom stock.
