THE BEAUMONT HOTEL RETURNS IN AUGUST, BETTER THAN EVER

THE BEAUMONT HOTEL RETURNS IN AUGUST, BETTER THAN EVER

We are delighted that The Beaumont will reopen on Friday 20th August 2021, boasting some exciting new changes that were completed during the hotel’s enforced 18-month closure. Along with a brand-new bar, lounge and al fresco dining terrace, The Beaumont’s Art Deco interiors have been updated by the leading New York-based designer Thierry Despont and London-based architects Reardon Smith. Visitors will also spot some intriguing new art acquisitions that have been added to the existing display.

Areas that have been refashioned or newly created as part of Thierry Despont’s refurbishment:

Le Magritte Bar

All-American bad boys from Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra would have felt right at home in Le Magritte, inspired by the American bars that took 1920s Paris and London by storm. Relocated and redesigned as a 30-seater standalone bar, it specialises in bourbons, American whiskies and cocktails, from jazz-age classics to Sinatra’s favourite Rusty Nail. Backlit alabaster columns frame the entrance, which opens directly off the main lobby; the seductive, sophisticated interior is entirely lined with European fiddleback cherrywood and centres on the leather-topped ebony bar, behind which hangs the Magritte that gives the room its name.

The Lounge

The former bar space at the very heart of the hotel has undergone a dramatic transformation to become a relaxed, intimate all-day dining space, very much inspired by the 1926 origins of the building. With its bespoke walnut-framed sofas and mahogany tub chairs, it’s the perfect spot to enjoy afternoon tea to live piano music on the baby grand, quietly read a book, have a light lunch or dinner, or end the day with a post-dinner drink.

The Terrace

This entirely new space offers al fresco drinking and dining for the first time at The Beaumont, on the sheltered outdoor terrace facing Brown Hart Gardens. With 1920s-style rattan armchairs and café tables enfolded by lush greenery, The Terrace will serve drinks alongside a light menu from 8am to 11pm, and can be covered and heated in colder weather.

The Colony Grill

The most glamorous grill room in town has kept its clubby Twenties New York atmosphere, but now has striking new murals and artworks, while its much-loved banquettes have been freshly reupholstered in deep red Italian leather. Meanwhile The Beaumont’s new head chef, Ben Boeynaems, has revisited its popular menu of transatlantic favourites, salads, shellfish, grills and steaks, with a focus on using mainly seasonal and locally sourced ingredients.

The Mayfair Suite

As part of the refurbishment, Thierry Despont has created an entirely new suite on the first floor overlooking Brown Hart Gardens. The Mayfair Suite has the flexibility to be reconfigured with one or two bedrooms, and takes its inspiration from the Art Deco style of the hotel. With a warm colour palette and custom-made furniture, it features a large sitting room, ideal for remote working as well as relaxing at the end of a busy day.

The Lobby

The lobby will retain its intimate feel, including its distinctive chequerboard floor and cherrywood panelling, but Thierry Despont’s redesign softens the floor-to-ceiling windows with gold-on-ivory Pierre Frey curtains, while the mahogany-shell sofas have been reupholstered in ‘Ellington’, a playful jazz-age velour fabric, accompanied by matching armchairs in honey-coloured chenille and lounge chairs covered in antique leather.

The Spa

With its shimmering black and white marble mosaics intact, the Spa benefits from the enlargement of the gymnasium and the addition of an extra treatment room, taking the total to four, enhancing the existing steam room, sauna, cold plunge pool and traditional warmed marble hamam massage table.
