Key challenges
As can often be the case with this type of project, our team was working within a busy operative hotel meaning we had to meticulously phase works being carried out to ensure safety and minimal disruption to customers occupying other rooms. This relied upon careful planning and effective communication with the client and the hotel’s on-site operational team.
Outcome
After 27 weeks, our team completed the refurbishment of 76 bedrooms, customer toilets, the reception area and all corridors and staircases. The project involved bespoke manufacturing and installation and electrical installation, with teams from across departments working closely together to deliver an outstanding result.
The finished product was topped off with a vibrant new interior look, featuring bold, bright colours and artwork which pays tribute to the City’s culture.
The project formed part of the Malmaison brand’s wider refurbishment of properties in its portfolio, including Malmaison Newcastle – on which our team is currently working – as well as playing a part in Aberdeen’s plans for growth and to boost tourism in the region.
It was a pleasure to continue our working relationship with the Malmaison brand and play a part in creating this stunning, elegant hotel’s new look and feel, helping to create another space where guests can enjoy a memorable experience.
