Centro Duo and Ellipso Duo Oval baths provide a luxurious experience and a sound investment at the Corinthia Hotel London and adjoining high-end appartments
St Ives, January. Occupying a grand Victorian building in the heart of London, Corinthia Hotel London is a bastion of style that offers the very finest in 21st century living. Reputed to be one of London’s earliest hotels dating from 1885, an extensive refurbishment has breathed new life into the historic building and equipped all 294 rooms, suites and penthouses to offer the highest standards of modern luxury.
The hotel bathrooms are elegantly designed and include baths made from exclusive 3.5mm steel enamel from German specialist Kaldewei. 133 of the Executive Rooms, Superior rooms and Suites feature the Centro Duo bath with its classic four-cornered design and comfortable, double-ended interior. Marble clad walls and bespoke vanity units and bath panelling in warm timber give the room a luxurious feel, while the generous 180 x 80cm Centro Duo bath is made even more inviting thanks to the built-in LED TV.
Part of the Maltese-owned global IHI Group, internet review websites are abundant with praise for the London hotel’s facilities and its first class service. The ground floor offers a wealth of dining options including elegant British cuisine at The Northall, modern Italian at the Massimo Restaurant & Oyster Bar, drinks at The Basoon Bar and afternoon tea or evening cocktails in the spacious Lobby Lounge. ESPA Life was voted ‘Best UK Hotel Spa’ by the readers of Condé Nast Traveller; it spans four floors and in addition to extensive spa facilities also offers a gym, indoor swimming pool, vitality pool, nail studio, hair salon and sleep pods.
All Kaldewei baths, shower trays and enamelled shower surfaces are made of high-quality steel enamel 3.5mm. This material is so robust that it shows no signs of wear even after many years of use. Along with exceptional hygienic properties, Kaldewei steel enamel also excels in other areas including quick and easy cleaning making chemical detergents unnecessary – a major advantage for housekeeping and the budget. Moreover the products are guaranteed for 30 years making them a sound, long-term investment. But the Kaldewei baths in the Corinthia Hotel London have another special feature in the form of anti-slip enamelling. This structured surface is made from a combination of quartz and sand which is burnt firmly into the steel, so the discreet anti-slip enamelling offers maximum safety underfoot no matter how much the bath is used.
Adjoining the Corinthia Hotel London, IHI and its partners developed 12 high-end ambassadorial residences in a stand-alone landmark property. These all feature the premium Ellipso Duo Oval bath from Kaldewei. Distinguished by its sophisticated, flowing shape the bath’s soft elliptical interior promises comfort as well as luxury that befits these unique properties. Two 2-bedroom units, five 3-bedroom units and four 4-bedroom units, as well as the iconic penthouse with wrap-round terraces and panoramic views of London all have direct access to the hotel and its spa.
