PROJECTS » W Hotel Edinburgh
THE BRIEF:
Nestled within Edinburgh’s iconic St James Quarter, the W Hotel Edinburgh stands as a beacon of luxury amid the city’s rich cultural tapestry.
Offering breath-taking panoramic views of Edinburgh’s skyline, it promises an unparalleled experience for guests seeking sophistication and indulgence. Renowned for its avant-garde designs, W Hotels, as part of the esteemed Marriott International portfolio, brings a global standard of innovation to the hospitality landscape of Edinburgh.
Recognising the pivotal role of biophilic design in enhancing guest experiences, we were thrilled to bring our expertise and creativity to the W Hotel Edinburgh. As Terrapin Bright Green, a renowned sustainability firm’s findings suggest, integrating biophilic elements can lead to a potential revenue increase of up to 23% per available room—a testament to the importance of our contribution to the W Hotel Edinburgh’s success.
THE SOLUTION:
The W Hotel boasts 199 rooms and 45 suites, with many featuring outdoor terraces that allow guests to immerse themselves in the stunning surroundings. Alongside its spa, bar, and acclaimed SUSHISAMBA restaurant, the hotel promises a holistic experience of luxury and relaxation.
When faced with challenges stemming from previous issues with plant suppliers, our team sprang into action, recognising the urgency to resolve the situation before the hotel’s opening.
Equipped with years of experience and a commitment to excellence, we swiftly addressed the issue. Our discreet visits to the hotel ensured minimal disruption to its operations, while our installation of impactful new planters at the main entrance and extensive interior and exterior plantings revitalised the hotel’s ambiance.
In addition to these enhancements, we adorned guest rooms with over 100 decorative moss bowl displays, infusing each space with a touch of natural elegance.
THE RESULTS:
With an abundance of lush greenery adorning every corner of the hotel, guests are greeted with an immediate sense of comfort and tranquillity upon arrival.
By partnering with Benholm Group, the W Hotel Edinburgh has seamlessly integrated biophilic elements into its design, offering a contemporary ode to the city while honouring the heritage of the Marriott International group.
With over 30 years of experience, Benholm Group has been helping businesses harness the power of plants to create inviting and memorable spaces.
