Moran Hotel Receives Design Award Nomination | |||||
Special offers in Globe Bar & Napa Restaurant mark this achievement
The recently opened Chiswick Moran Hotel has been nominated for Best Hotel Design in the European Hotel Design Awards 2006. The former office building was transformed into a chic retro style haven by design company Project Orange with their "contemporary evocation of 60's California" and though tropical palms and sweeping LA-style portechoches are not the first things one imagines when visualising Chiswick, they most certainly have brought a welcome face lift to the western end of the High Road. Commenting on their award General Manager Francisco Ventura told ChiswickW4.com "We are absolutely thrilled and honoured to receive such as prestigious nomination.
"Our goal was to bring a bit of fun with splash of Sixties California to Chiswick. Our Retro-Chic rooms offer all of the modern day amenities one would expect in a four star deluxe Hotel with a tongue in cheek Californian-inspired theme. Our designers have described it as a ‘Zesty Aggressive Informality’ - we just think of it as a great design which encourages our guests to feel at ease whether it’s in enjoying a drink in the Globe Bar, a bite to eat in Napa or just whiling away a few relaxed hours in their bedrooms.
"We’re delighted to have brought our Hotel to Chiswick and look forward to the continued support of our neighbours and new friends."
Describing the Group's approach to designing their hotels Tommy Moran, Business Development Director of the family run group said "While we would see ourselves as a contemporary stylish hotel, we would qualify this by saying that we don't encourage the air of pretentiousness that often goes side by side with modern hotels. Our ethos is based very much around offering a genuine welcome to all our guests." Now in its ninth year, the European Hotel Design Awards has firmly established itself as the premier celebration of hotel design across Europe. The European Hotel Design Awards judging panel brings together expertise from all aspects of the hotel industry with respected hotel operators, owners, developers, architects, designers, editors and consultants selecting the winners in each category. *The selected drinks will change on a daily basis and are the choice of the Bar Manager. **Terms & Conditions for Napa Restaurant Offer
