Cheval Three Quays – part of London-based luxury serviced apartment specialists Cheval Residences, attendees at this year’s Hotel Designs Summit – has partnered with Debenhams to give one of its 159 five-star apartments a ‘designer takeover’.

Debenhams’ love of creating beautiful spaces within the home has now extended to the hospitality arena and in an exciting move for the British high street retailer, on 2 March 2016, Debenhams launches its designer open plan apartment in a year-long partnership with Cheval Three Quays.

The takeover kicks-off in March with much-loved designer at Debenhams, Ben de Lisi, followed by Matthew Williamson in June. Both designers will exclusively dress the apartment in their own inimitable style and showcase their current designer homeware collections for Debenhams.

Having opened on 10 March 2014, Cheval Three Quays has raised the bar in the serviced apartment sector. The open plan apartments boasts dramatic floor to ceiling windows with unrivalled views across the River Thames, Tower Bridge, The Shard and City Hall. Every detail of the apartment, curated by the designers, has been carefully considered to effortlessly mix luxury with the designer’s own personal style.

Bringing a brand new travel experience to the public, Ben de Lisi’s apartment showcases his SS16 collection for Debenhams. Offering adventure and exploration, the room is brought to life with a lively combination of hand drawn graphics, soft geometrics, quirky objects and multi coloured stripes.

“I am thrilled to be part of such an innovative collaboration with Designers at Debenhams. It’s such a fantastic opportunity for loyal customers to experience my new collection in the luxury environment of Cheval Three Quays, and for guests to live the designer lifestyle,” de Lisi said.

What’s more, each guest will receive a luxury food hamper on arrival and gift on departure, plus exclusive treats to be redeemed in the Debenhams Oxford Street Store. These include a range of luxury beauty treatments and exclusive offers, Personal Shopping appointments and restaurant vouchers.

Changing four times per year, the further designers will be revealed on Debenhams’ social media channels in advance of launch. Follow @debenhams or #DebsDesignerApartment for updates.
