Luxury, 5-star boutique hotel The Stafford London unveiled a highly anticipated, multimillion dollar redesign of its historic Carriage House Suites.

The new suites, designed in partnership with award-winning firm Champalimaud Design, are an eclectic take on the hotel’s British heritage, capturing the luxurious spirit and contemporary elegance of a glamorous country look.

Separate from the main hotel and set within the historic 380-year-old building, once the former stables of British nobleman and politics, Lord Francis Godolphin, the Carriage House Suites serve as a chic, private oasis, offering guests understated opulence overlooking a quiet courtyard.

Drawing inspiration from the quirkiness and individuality found in English homes, the suite designer perfectly captures the essence of Britishness. The 11 suites feature contemporary articles, fine craftsmanship, custom mirrors, whimsical wall coverings, layered textures and prints, quality furnishings and signature pieces. Plush bathrooms boast double washbasins, deep-soaking tubs, sleek glass showers and mosaic flooring.

“The Stafford has an extraordinary story to tell that is different from other luxury hotels in London — and the Carriage House rooms play a very big role in that story. These rooms as we conceived them were not to be heavy or stereotype in their design, tedious or too historic in nature, even laden with too much fact; our design, although entirely fitting looks forward with freshness and humour. We have been careful to tell the story magically, bringing the very Britishness and spirit of what is so special about this charming place to life,” said Alexandra Champalimaud, founder, Champalimaud Design.
