• Market Sector: Hotels
• Services: Building Control

This former MoD building, originally the magnificent Metropole Hotel that opened in 1886, is now being completely refurbished into a 5* hotel with 300 luxury bedrooms and outstanding views of the City. Features include an elegant central courtyard foyer, to the restaurants, luxury spa, destination bar, meeting facilities and a delicately refurbished grand ballroom. In addition, luxury open market apartments form part of this prestigious project.

Historical features need to be retained and MLM provided expert building regulation support to ensure the design aims were met, with exceptional levels of compliance.

One key aim was for bedroom suites to have complete privacy between the sleeping and lounge areas. MLM worked closely with the fire authority and engineers to agree a sophisticated detection, smoke vent and sprinkler system to ensure high levels of guest safety.
