Located in Liverpool Street, Pan Pacific London is the first European property from the Singaporean hotel group, and takes understated luxury to new heights – the 43-storey haven even incorporates a dedicated floor to wellbeing. The interiors are designed by world-renowned design duo George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, who honour Pan Pacific’s Singapore heritage for hospitality and connection with nature, by beautifully blending the refined charm of British design with a South-Eastern Asian artistic flair.

In developing this sanctuary, the team at the hotel were committed to working responsibly and ethically to improve their sustainability credits, and to reduce the impact on the environment. This proactive approach to environmental sustainability and wellness can be seen in each of the 237 guestrooms and 43 suites. Each guestroom and suite has been designed as a haven from the bustling city. Curved walls and the neutral colour palette add to the peace and tranquillity of these private spaces. The art pieces add a further layer of calm, through the depiction of oak, elder, elm and maple trees. Centre stage is a bespoke Hypnos bed which provides the foundation for a perfect night’s sleep.

“We wanted to deliver an oasis of tranquillity in this wonderful bustling city of London,” said designer Glenn Pushelberg. “Pan Pacific London is intended to feel tailored, calm, and serene without falling flat on metaphors or symbolism. We wanted our guests to be immersed in a worldly outlook that is rooted in the warmth and comfort of the brands heritage.”

George Yabu adds: “Our design team conceived the hotel as a home, delivering a relaxed-yet-elevated residential feel. Qualities of an English manor house were reinterpreted with tailored modernity to serve as the bones of the project, while a twist of personality has been introduced through art and accessories, which layer in Eastern flair.”

“There is no doubt that Pan Pacific London was one of the most hotly anticipated hotel openings in London in 2021,” said Carolyn Mitchell, Sales and Marketing Director, Hypnos Contract Beds. We were delighted to work with the team to develop a bespoke mattress during a period when the hospitality industry was in lock down. It is so refreshing  and rewarding to finally see our hard work unveiled. We are a family business, dedicated to delivering sustainable sleep solutions and have been carbon neutral for over a decade. So, we are particularly proud to have worked with Pan Pacific London in delivering their vision of taking wellness and luxury into a new era. Our mantra at Hypnos is to deliver comfort with integrity – Pan Pacific London epitomises this perfectly.”
