Decorated by Tom Dixon’s Design Research Studio, this exciting new hotel is the firm’s latest completed project.

Says Dixon, “For us a hotel is a dream job – it allows us to work in so many different typologies – spas and bars, restaurants and bedrooms, conference rooms and corridors. The idea that we can create a complete universe that people can live in for a night or a week… what’s not to like?”

The hotel, which is inspired by maritime history and originally built by architect Warren Platner in the ‘70s, boasts 359 bedrooms, one restaurant, two bars, one spa and a movie theatre.

“We thought that the transatlantic liners of the golden period of cruisers was a fitting departure point,” says Dixon. “We wanted the rooms to have a feeling of a cabin, with everything fitted, compact and properly thought through.”
