Fusing a purpose-built contemporary tower on the edge of the City of London with the sensibility of a serious art collection was the central ambition behind South Place Hotel when it opened in 2012. Designed by Allies and Morrison, the brown-panelled facade — its grid of full-height windows and flush composite cladding visible in the images — makes no attempt to historicise its Finsbury setting, landing instead as a quiet piece of commercial modernism that lets the interiors carry the personality. Conran and Partners handled those interiors across 80 rooms spread over nine floors, and the approach throughout is confident without being showy: platform beds with uplit bases, houndstooth swivel chairs that nod to Eero Saarinen, deep plum and burgundy accent walls hung with original commissioned artworks, and Moooi Raimond pendant fixtures casting their geometric shadows over king-size linen. The restaurant level reveals the building's most theatrical gesture — a long dining room where the glazed wall angles outward at a sharp rake, flooding the space with city light and framing it beneath a fragmented metallic ceiling of interlocking pressed-steel petals. Tan leather banquette seating runs the length of the room against mirrored panels, with violet upholstered dining chairs scattered across the opposite side. Downstairs, the bar shifts register entirely: black slate floors, velvet lounge seating in olive and teal, and a suspended canopy of artificial blooms dense enough to feel genuinely immersive — a move that belongs less to hotel design than to installation art.
