At the newly renovated Montcalm Mayfair, Fitzroy of London and Studio Mica have redefined what an accessible hotel bathroom can be – combining elegant design, flexible usability and luxury-level detailing…
As part of the striking redesign of Montcalm Mayfair in London, leading accessible bathroom brand Fitzroy of London – who recently premiered its new showroom at the BDC – partnered with interior design practice Studio Mica to create a series of accessible bathrooms that prioritise both inclusivity and contemporary elegance.
The collaboration forms a key component of the hotel’s extensive renovation, which has reimagined 151 guestrooms and suites alongside the public spaces, wellness areas and dining venues.

Inclusive design without aesthetic compromise
Studio Mica’s brief centred on elevating the experience of guests with accessibility needs, ensuring the bathrooms reflected the same level of luxury found throughout the hotel. Fitzroy of London was selected for its depth of expertise and its wide-ranging product portfolio – essential to ensuring that accessibility requirements could be met without sacrificing design refinement.
The resulting scheme incorporates products from the brand’s Gosfield collection, widely recognised for its modern aesthetic and robust functionality. Fixed and removable grab rails, backrests and white-pad shower seats were all specified in PVD Satin Brass, chosen to harmonise with the bathroom’s warm gold-veined tiles and the bold wallpapers and pattern-rich interiors of the adjoining guestrooms.

Adaptable products for a fluid guest experience
A key request from Montcalm Mayfair’s operations team was the ability to offer adaptable bathroom layouts depending on guest preferences. Fitzroy of London’s removable grab rails provided the ideal solution: when not required, each rail can be replaced with a matching backplate, maintaining visual continuity and creating a more spacious, minimalist look.
This flexibility ensures that every bathroom can evolve to suit individual guests while still presenting as refined, contemporary and meticulously detailed.

A seamless collaboration
Anna Mazurak, Senior Interior Designer at Studio Mica, praised the partnership: “When working on accessible bathrooms, it’s often difficult to find beautiful products that fit within our design brief. Working with Fitzroy of London was a fantastic experience… What really stood out was how collaborative the team was as they worked closely with us on every detail.”
Fitzroy of London’s commitment to customisation – both aesthetically and technically – proved instrumental to the project’s success, ensuring that the final bathrooms were not only compliant and functional but also warmly received by both client and guests.
A new chapter for Montcalm Mayfair
Following its temporary closure in 2023, Montcalm Mayfair’s relaunch marks a bold new era. The refurbishment, led by Holland Harvey with interiors by Studio Est and Studio Mica, has revitalised the property with a polished, design-forward identity.
Within this transformation, Fitzroy of London’s accessible bathrooms stand out as an exemplary showcase of how thoughtful product design, flexible installation and collaborative specification can reframe accessibility as an integral element of luxury hospitality.
