The Cavendish Hotel

We are delighted to share that our innovative proposals for The Cavendish Hotel have received planning consent, unlocking the full potential of the building and establishing it as a flagship hotel within the operator’s London portfolio.

Our proposals reposition the hotel as a refreshed, contemporary luxury destination in one of London’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, using a retrofit-first approach to sensitively transform the mid-century building. Our design delivers over 200 guestrooms, signature dining experiences and a refined arrival sequence, while celebrating the heritage and character of the existing building. Enhanced entrances on Duke Street and Jermyn Street welcome guests into a new five-star lobby, with a dramatic triple-height space at the heart of the scheme connecting repositioned meeting and event areas, which flow seamlessly into the hotel’s bar, restaurant and fine-dining spaces. Across the podium, new guest amenities further elevate the hospitality offering and all guestrooms will undergo a comprehensive upgrade.

Sustainability is central to the project’s vision. By adapting, reusing and extending the structure, our proposals bring the building up to modern environmental standards, creating a resilient, future-ready development that reduces carbon impact while reinforcing its contemporary luxury identity.

Congratulations to the whole team — this project is the result of a huge collective effort and also marks EPR’s first appointment as Building Regulations Principal Designer on a hotel project.
