   Stylish Hotel Bar Refurb and Re-design

   The Sir Thomas Hotel, located in the heart of Liverpool has undergone an extensive restaurant and bar refurb. Combining welcoming rooms and design with traditional 18th Century architecture.

   The brasserie and bar had seen a major makeover. Maintaining the original spirit of the building, it has been re imagined with a fresh colour scheme and modern feel.

   

   Wroot Design Liverpool

   Wroot Design  have worked on numerous projects with the owners, allowing them a better understanding of their needs and requirements. They suggested integrating  the rich heritage of the building with modern design for a timeless appeal.

   Fiona Wroot, Director at Wroot Design, commented on the project:

   “The Sir Thomas bar, restaurant and reception hadn’t been refurbished for about 14 years so they needed bringing up to date and given a whole new identity. That is what we were tasked with doing. In terms of a brief the client wanted something fresher, more modern and up to date that was flexible for the many varied events they host at the restaurant and bar.”

   New Bar Design

   The design includes the new metallic marble finish from Versital on the columns using Versital Panels, as well as custom made bar tops. The marble finish is a nod towards the traditional style of the hotel, whilst the subtle metallic veining taps into a more contemporary feel.

   Wroot design placed strong emphasis on lighting, making the space more inviting during the day. In the evening it can made cosy and intimate. The perfect solution for a busy hotel.

   

   Again, Fiona Wroot commented:

   “It’s a lot lighter and brighter. Essentially, before it was a lot more like a gentleman’s club with dark leather couches and carpets. That’s all gone and it’s now a place that’s light and bright during day but can transition easily into an intimate and cosy space at night. It’s now a very comfortable place to sit in, no matter what time of the day.”

   Versital’s Copper Stratos metallic marble finish has been used by the designers not only due to its incredible stain and water resisting properties, but also for its modern beautiful finish. It works perfectly with the very modern greenery wall.

   

   Gemma Stockberger from Versital Commented:

   “At Versital UK, we offer a completely unique product – being the most true to life imitation marble you will find on the market, whilst also being totally waterproof and stain resistant. We take great pride in the manufacture of each item, paying attention to the smallest detail.”
