THE MAID’S HEAD HOTEL | Nicola Lovell Design

ENTRANCE WALKWAY

The hotel side entrance has been enhanced with a new traditional flint wall and cobbled path which leads the guests up to a nature inspired seating area and original timber door.

BACK

GLASS EXTENSION

Original covered car park was transformed into a temperature controlled glazed showroom for hotel experiences and home for the vintage Bentleys.

Classic Bentley seats have been adapted for use as sofas and an English mural wallpaper evocative of countryside drives continues through to link the new cobbled walkway.

ENTRANCE LOBBY

A new seating area with flagstone flooring connects the interior lounge spaces beyond the original timber door.

FRONT ENTRANCE

Revolving doors replace the original front lobby. New tumbled flagstone floor and scenic wallpaper creates a bright, welcoming reception for the historic building.

LOUNGE

Various lounges on different levels are enhanced with colourful, textured fabrics and comfortable seating is grouped to define areas.

BEDROOMS

Bold colour, whimsical patterns and texture compliment and enhance the beautiful ancient timbers of feature rooms in the eaves.

CLOAKROOMS

Both rooms were significantly restructured.

Coloured basins, patterned tiles and feature wallpaper form a traditional space with a contemporary edge for the Gents, whereas the Ladies is designed to be light and feminine with mirrors, pearly pink wallpaper anda patterned ceramic floor.

EXECUTIVE BEDROOM

Handblock printed wallpaper with bentwood feature lights and clear colours have created refreshing rooms with a conscious use of British artisan materials.

BEDROOM

Compact bedrooms in the new wing of the hotel had a complete makeover to optimise the use of space. Fitted wardrobes and soft lighting frame the bed whilst wool textures, patterned carpet and walnut furniture add warmth.

In contrast the rooms in the historic part of the hotel have scenic linens, embroidered braids and fringes with velvets in soft palettes.
