... A Modern Classic - The Great Eastern Hotel was born out of the golden age of railway travel in 1884 and re-opened it's doors in February 2000. The legacy is a building of great charm, and the only hotel within the city of London. Favored with some magnificent architecture but newly emerging with modern interpretation, the Great Eastern Hotel is surrounded by some of the most influential cultural references to British life. Here is the densest population of artists anywhere in the world juxtaposed to the largest finacial institutions. The local influences of culture and commerce can be seen in the interiors: city suiting fabrics used on the upholestry, dark wood panelling, a rich palette of colors and steel wall cabinets. The Great Eastern Hotel is an extraordinary project with duality running throughout. It's a unique combination of hotel and restaurants, each part of a distinctive enterprise. |
