Interior design plays a central role in shaping the guest experience. Bespoke joinery, tailored headboards, custom carpets and wallpapers, and carefully curated artwork draw inspiration from Clerkenwell's culture of craft and innovation. Rich timbers, brass detailing, stone surfaces and layered textiles create a warm and characterful atmosphere, giving guestrooms and shared spaces a distinctive identity while ensuring the comfort and quality expected of a modern boutique hotel. Private roof terraces offer elevated views across Clerkenwell's historic roofscape, providing moments of retreat above the city.
At the heart of the building, an eight-storey lightwell introduces natural daylight and planting deep into the hotel, creating a calm focal point visible from circulation routes and guestrooms throughout. Developed in collaboration with specialist horticultural consultants, the space enhances wellbeing and strengthens the connection between guests and the surrounding environment.
The restored Hat and Feathers remains the social heart of the development. Historic features, including original glazed partitions, traditional timber panelling and the distinctive bar frontage, have been carefully retained and enhanced, while new meeting and event spaces have been sensitively integrated within the existing fabric. Direct connections between the pub and hotel allow the landmark building to function as more than a heritage asset, re-establishing it as a destination for visitors and locals alike. Together, the restored public house and contemporary hotel have revitalised this prominent Clerkenwell corner, creating a hospitality experience that feels authentic, distinctive and deeply connected to place.
