HOTEL & LEISURE PORTFOLIO

We are Dexter Moren Associates, an award winning practice of 50 people working across architecture, urban planning and interior design. We provide an individual approach to each project; we are passionate, commercially astute and committed to producing beautiful buildings that respond to location & context.

Since we started in 1992 we have established a world renowned reputation in the hotel sector. Today we bring the same combination of design, commercial and human understanding that made us known in hotels to everything we do, be it a boutique hotel, resort, residential development or sports stadium. Our work has been recognised with a series of industry awards, including the European Hotel Design Award for our Edible Hotel. We were also acknowledged as a finalist at the Architect of the Year Awards in the Sports & Leisure category.

HOTEL BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH

SHANGRI-LA HOTEL AT THE SHARD

Appointed as executive architects this project involved resolving complex design & buildability issues by our site based team.

GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL KING’S CROSS

CONRAD LONDON ST JAMES

Conversion of Grade II listed 19th Century former hospital into luxury hotel.

HOTEL INDIGO KENSINGTON& THE KENSINGTON QUARTERCAFE BAR RESTAURANT

The ‘neighbourhood story’ lies at the core of the design concept of this refurbishment and draws inspiration from the nearby performance venues of Earl’s Court.

HILTON LONDON BANKSIDE

The hotel’s layered brick, metal and glass façade is designed to create a contemporary insertion into the locale and reflects the industrial context of the Southbank neighbourhood.

THE AMPERSAND HOTEL SOUTH KENSINGTON

Multi award winning hotel which tells a design story referencing its South Kensington museum location.

APERO BAR & RESTAURANT

HAMPTON BY HILTON LONDON WATERLOO

The hotel’s contemporary façade subtly changes in appearance during the day as the angles in the pre-cast concrete facia, combined with the use of cladding in different colour tones, captures light and shadow.

HOLIDAY INN MANCHESTER

Inspired by the bold and unapologetic attitude of Manchester, DMA’s interiors team have sought to create a space which is impactful upon entry.

Open plan public spaces create a sense of wonder and play through wall graphics, pop colours and eclectic pieces of furniture, while industrial joinery and feature pendant lights anchor the space to the interiors concept.

RICHMOND HILL HOTEL

Situated within the Richmond Hill Conservation area, the main hotel building is an impressive Grade II listed Georgian manor.

We were appointed to refurbish and redesign the guestrooms, maximising the spectacular views across Richmond Royal Park.

The design approach takes inspiration from the hotel’s key aim: allowing guests to ‘experience the countryside come to life in the city’.

MARRIOTT KENSINGTON

Refurbishment of an existing hotel featuring a new entrance atrium, at the time the tallest hanging glass facade in Europe.

TOWER BRIDGE MAGISTRATES’ COURT

Situated between Tooley Street & Queen Elizabeth Street within the Tower Bridge Conservation Area.

This project sees the conversion of the Grade II listed 1906 John Dixon Butler police station & magistrates’ court into a luxury hotel with the addition of a newbuild extension to the rear.

THE WESTINHOTEL & APARTMENTS CITY OF LONDON
