Fronting Chiswell Street and bounded by Milton Street & Silk Street the new hotel will provide 235 luxury rooms with associated leisure facilities in a prominent location between the Barbican and office towers surrounding Moorgate.
Precis Holdings purchased the site in early 2010 and appointed Dexter Moren Associates to rework the unoccupied building into a full service hotel. The Grade II listed Brewery traces its history back some 260 years when Samuel Whitbread started brewing there in 1750. The architectural concept aims to retain its heritage & restore many of the period features.
Guests will access the reception via an existing central archway leading through to a cobbled courtyard and a double height lobby featuring brick vaulted ceilings. The ground floor will include a series of meeting rooms which will open out to the courtyard. The bar and restaurant will occupy the two corner ends of the building envelope retaining traditional frontages. These spaces will operate as a public entity in addition to servicing the hotel guests.
