Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square,
the London life with a historical Century-old Building
Overlooking the River Thames and the Tower of London, Ten Trinity Square was originally built for the Port of London Authority. As a masterpiece from Sir Edwin Cooper at the early 20th century, the building features classical porches and columns of Corinthian style, echoing the stunning dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral not far away. During the golden age of Britain as the overlord of the sea, 10 Trinity Square received over 1200 visitors every day, representing London’s dominant position in global trade. It is also the place where UN held its first convention and signed the first charter. British Queen Elizabeth II came to stay here several times. Now this Grade II listed building carrying such glorious history has been purchased by Reignwood Group and become the second home of Four Seasons Hotel in London.
Before the arrival of Four Seasons, a big-scale refurbishment had been carried out by professional personnel who gave new life to the stone carvings, statues and marble floors while maintaining the neo-classicism style of the construction. Furthermore, Four Seasons pooled elite designers with different specialties to subtly infuse modern elements in the interior for a harmonious delivery of both the old and new. Meanwhile, the entrance door handle where the number 1921 was engraved, the statue resembling the River Thames on the front gate’s porches, and the building’s design paper back to the year 1912 placed at the corner of the second floor, as well as the grand ballroom fully born from planks have all been kept.
The hotel offers 100 guestrooms and 41 private residences. With high ceilings and gorgeous ornaments, the rooms convey the charm of the past. Light color furniture are matched with white and grey decorations, complemented by a sound layout and attention to details, delivering a low-keyed luxury and an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.
The various dining venues all have their uniqueness. Featuring Chinese style screens, red plum and bamboos, Mei Ume presents traditional Chinese and Japanese dishes with a modern approach.
