Polysmiths is an award-winning London-based architecture and interior design studio with expertise in boutique hotel design, hospitality refurbishments, and heritage renovations.
We collaborate with operators, developers, and private clients to shape guest experiences that combine design ambition with operational logic. Our work ranges from lobby and suite interiors to full-scale renovations of listed buildings and mixed-use properties.
Whether it’s a historic townhouse conversion or a new boutique hotel concept, we deliver design-led, technically sound, and commercially aware solutions — always tailored to the story of the brand and the rhythm of its site.
Case study: A sustainable boutique hotel in Bloomsbury
We recently completed a feasibility study and planning application on renovation and refurbishment of a Georgian terrace into a 12-key boutique hotel. The boutique hotel will replace a tired B&B in Bloomsbury, Camden, Central London.
The boutique hotel will be used for leisure and business guests who want a high quality design, and sustainable hotel, in central London, for short to mid-term stay.
Sustainability in traveling and in hotel operations
Our Client understands that traveling for leisure or work is inherently not sustainable to the environment. Therefore, as part of the interior design, we have included a small kitchen unit in every room, and encouraging the option for guests to stay for more than 10 days.
The hotel rooms, respecting the heritage quality of the George terraced-house, includes internal glazing screens for the different areas of the suites (kitchen, bathroom, and bed) where consistent heating is required. This reduces the overall energy consumption of the building, and avoided the need to have insulations on the interior of the architecture.
Tactile spaces that is calm, and a garden cafe
The project focuses on using natural materials that are robust and sustainable, while reducing demolition of the existing building fabric, and upgrading its energy efficiency and lowering the hotel operational cost.
The project also introduces a garden extension to the rear for the hotel guests, and a new cafe on the ground level.
The scope of the project includes renovation of all 3 gallery rooms, enhancing the existing Listed Building fabric, as well as renovation of a new office and meeting room for the gallery.
