The Four Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity
Square, developed by the Reignwood Group, has received
the annual City Heritage Award.
Nominated by the City Heritage
Society and the Worshipful Company of Painter-Stainers, the
accolade is given to the best conservation or refurbishment
project in the City of London.
The plaque was unveiled by The Lord
Mayor of the City of London at an intimate ceremony in the Hotel’s
UN Ballroom, the setting for the inaugural reception of the United
Nations General Assembly in 1946.
Vincent
Hoogewijs, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four
Seasons Hotel London at Ten Trinity Square, said, “We are honoured to have Reignwood as a long term partner, and proud to be
a part of this incredible project, to be able to welcome guests
and visitors to this remarkable heritage building on a daily
basis.”
Located in London’s most historic area, close to
illustrious neighbours such as the Tower of London and St. Paul’s
Cathedral, Ten Trinity Square has long been regarded as one of
Britain’s finest architectural landmarks.
The Grade-II listed
heritage building, designed by renowned architect Sir Edwin
Cooper, was originally built in 1922 as the headquarters of the
Port of London Authority.
In 2010, Ten Trinity Square was
purchased by Chinese investment company Reignwood, who selected
architects Aukett Swanke to lead the restoration and conversion of
the Beaux-Arts style building into a hotel and residences.
Following a seven-year renovation project, Ten Trinity Square
stands once again as one of London’s most desirable addresses.
Reignwood’s Director of
Development, Simon Pateman, said, “Reignwood Group are
incredibly proud that Ten Trinity Square has received such a
prestigious award for our flagship development in the City of
London. The project by its very nature provided a number of
challenges during the redevelopment with archaeology, underpinning
of the existing structure and restoration of the heritage
features. We are delighted to have contributed to the extended
life of this significant historical building. We would like to
thank our partners, stakeholders and the City of London for their
continued support during this development project.”
