Situated alongside St Paul’s Cathedral, the Leonardo Royal Hotel London St Paul’s recently added flexibility to two of their high-spec meeting rooms. Working with architects, Cunningham McLean, and Edgewater Contracts, partitioning expert Style was contracted to install three glazed Stylefold 960 sliding folding walls. Effortless to move in and out of position, the walls can quickly divide the meeting areas to create smaller rooms, as required.
With a 42dB acoustic rating an excellent level of privacy is created between divided areas, whilst the glazed finish maximises light and visibility throughout the space. Finished with contemporary RAL 9005 Black Frames, these folding walls are not just a practical solution, but a stylish one too – complementing the interior design of the rooms. Located in the heart of London’s financial district, the Leonardo Royal Hotel London St Paul’s offers 23 flexible meeting and event spaces across four floors, accommodating up to 1,200 guests.
Each space is equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology, free high-speed Wi-Fi, and a range of catering and refreshment options. In the Barbican meeting room, two glazed Stylefold sliding folding walls can be used to divide the room into either 3 individual meeting rooms, 1 large and 1 small meeting room, or the area can be opened up into one larger space. In the Temple meeting room, a single Stylefold wall was installed along the side of the room, enabling the room to either be closed off or opened up into the breakout area. “
Flexible space is a ‘must have’ for hotel meeting rooms, as it optimises their revenue potential by providing the flexibility to cater for a number of separate events concurrently, or host larger gatherings,” said Michael Porter, Style’s group managing director. “The Stylefold 960 is an excellent solution, as it is so quick to open and close, which means the rooms can be reconfigured in a matter of minutes in between meetings.” www.style-partitions.co.uk
