the botree guestrooms: redefining luxury through open, adaptable sanctuaries for guests
The BoTree’s guestrooms, including 30 suites, are inspired by the fashion-forward, floral-infused lifestyle that defines Marylebone. They have been designed to provide comfort, functionality, and a sense of luxury. As the lines between business and leisure blur, The BoTree’s guestrooms and suites provide guests with a temporary city residency that embrace a modern lifestyle, becoming a space not just for sleep, but for gatherings, private dining, work or relaxation. Beyond this foyer, double doors unveil a dressing room, serving as a transitional space between the entrance and the bedroom, allowing guests to truly feel as though they are entering their own private sanctuary.
"In the evolving landscape of hotel rooms, sleep remains crucial, but today's guests expect more. A hotel room is now a central hub in a guest's city experience, not just a place to rest. The BoTree's reinvented guest rooms examplify this shift; we've eliminated traditional boundaries, creating open, flexible spaces. At The BoTree, our rooms offer a temporary city residency, embracing the modern guest's lifestyle."
the botree bar: a place for neighbourhood soul
Upon entering, the attention is drawn to the illuminated ceiling. Gold-tinted shapes,encapsulating lights that shift in colour to reflect the time of the day. The design of The BoTree Bar takes inspiration from the majestic display of a peacock's tail, drawing from the concept of 'peacocking'—the deliberate effort to stand out and leave a lasting memorable expression.
the lobby
The neighbourhood-like feeling is maintained in the lobby thanks to the personal, individual approach to check-in. A custom-made swivelling installation in the entrance of the hotel, enhance the transformative character of spaces. Adapting to different times of the day or season and creating surprising and dynamic experiences for guests each time they visit. A dedicated section in the lobby serves as an art gallery, showcasing the works of local artists, creating a dynamic space that celebrates the local art community.
