Each Ibis Styles hotel has its own unique design, theme and personality.
For this new build development in Seven Kings, London, the theme was
‘An Oasis in the City’; RE-VIVE worked with Accor to create a full design
package for all areas in the hotel including all 170 bedrooms, corridors, stairs,
lifts and lobby reception area plus a multi-use meeting room space.
A moodboarding process helped us to define what an oasis in the
city might look like: lots of greenery & natural materials of course,
with light-hearted pops of humour; the design is calming in areas
and energising in others - this was key to getting the balance
right and appealing to a diverse target market.
The bedroom brief was a nature-inspired room that will make
you want to hibernate all year long. A lollypop headboard finished
in green velvet, reminiscent of rolling green hills, paired with the
&Tradition Flowerpot pendant creates a playful yet relaxing space.
A custom designed carpet covers the floor like a bed of leaves.
The hotel has various soft seating areas for working, relaxing,
socialising and eating. There’s a long banquette seating area and large
natural edge wood tables for group meals or informal meetings. The
soft furnishings and upholstery choices give subtle nods to the concept;
black & white checked cushions are evocative of summer picnic
blankets and the bespoke carpets running through the corridors
resemble the natural wood grain found in sections of trees.
A multi-use space is separated from the open plan lobby with
a large Crittall-style sliding door. The large table hosts a breakfast
buffet in the morning and offers a hireable meeting space for up to
12 people. A key marker for an Ibis Styles hotel is the guest photo
spot; an immersive green wall with the neon hashtag creates
that ever-important Instagram shot. #opentocreativity
