Silken Hotel

The project originally went to plans to City of Westminster in August 2004 under the proposals of “Demolition and Redevelopment of existing office buildings behind retained facades to former Marconi house The Strand”, with the intention of providing a building 13 storeys high for use as Hotel, Restaurant and self contained apartments.

The Client and Construction team is a respected developer from Spain trading under the name of Urvasco UST London.

Following demolition, construction actually started late 2006 with the Electrical contract being awarded to EI.WHS London early 2007.

• Emergency Lighting system

• CCTV

• Access Control

• Public Address System
