Project value

Craftex was appointed to remodel and refurbish a 27-key boutique hotel inside a five-storey Victorian building on one of Chelsea’s most sensitive streets, alongside a members’ club that stayed open throughout. Every bedroom and suite called for bespoke high-gloss joinery, velvet headboards and stone en-suites, all to one consistent standard. Craftex also took part in the wider project team behind the hotel’s lower-ground cocktail bar.

The design challenge was consistency inside a historic building. Every bedroom, suite and en-suite needed acoustic calm, considered lighting and a tactile, residential comfort, within a five-storey Victorian structure where no two rooms are quite the same. We carried a single material and detailing language through every room type — high-gloss joinery, velvet headboards, stone en-suites — so the property feels intentional end to end.

A boutique hotel on a sensitive Chelsea street leaves no margin for disruption. Our pre-construction phase covered measured surveys, a phased programme and early procurement of the long-lead joinery and FF&E that define a hotel's finish. Works were sequenced to contain noise and mess, protect any occupied or neighbouring areas, and keep the street and its residents unaffected.

The build ran floor by floor on a single programme, with the members’ club next door trading throughout. Craftex managed every specialist trade directly and self-delivered the bespoke joinery that carries a boutique hotel’s character. Holding one finish standard across every bedroom and suite is the discipline this project was built on.

The finished hotel presents as one confident property, with bedrooms and suites that earn their nightly rate on comfort and detail. After handover we ran a defined aftercare period, returning to fine-tune the property in live operation.
