Luxury hotel’s face lift is back on track
A fast-track programme to speed the
completion of the InterContinental Hotel in Park Lane, London has been implemented
by sub-contractor, English Architectural Glazing Ltd (EAG). The move followed
a delay in the project caused by the announcement in March this year that
the principle contractor, Curzon Interiors, had gone into receivership.
Glazing specialist EAG was contracted by Curzon Interiors to design, manufacture and install acoustically-enhanced aluminium windows to each of the 450-bedrooms of the 4-star luxury hotel. Working alongside the new main contractor, John Sisk, EAG has now completed the installation using the latest Schuco window and walling systems.
The original £1.6m contract led to an additional £800,000 contract with fit-out contractor, Beck Interiors, for the design, manufacture and installation of blast-enhanced glazed screens to the ground and mezzanine level public area zones.
When the hotel opens in October 2006 it will reveal elegant guest rooms and suites, a new destination restaurant and bar, contemporary event space and luxurious spa.
