The completion of this six week redesign and refurbishment by Dexter Moren Associates marks the first phase of Malmaison Hotel du Vin’s major investment programme into the historic property.

With such an iconic view, our team proposed a concept which references the industrial history of Bristol and the mechanical materials and form of the suspension bridge.

An iron antique style station clock hangs behind the bar with hanging spoked brass light fixtures resembling suspension. The walls have been painted charcoal grey, complemented by the brass topped bar and reclaimed artwork frames.

The soft lighting, wooden tables and old original stained hardwood floors combine to create a cosy atmosphere, contrasting with a striking central mosaic feature floor. The bathrooms reflect the Victoriana era with mosaic tiled floors, inset porcelain basins, satin brass taps and antique mirrors.
