History
Eccleston Square Hotel is a grade II listed building and was renovated over a period of 1 year at a cost of £6.5 million.[5] The architectural and interior design work for the project was performed by Woods Bagot[6] and opened in August 2011.[5] The hotel is operated by Olivia Byrne[7] and her brother James Byrne and is a member of Design Hotels.[8][9]
Six months after opening, Eccleston won the 2011 In-Room Technology Innovation award at the European Hospitality Awards.[5]
Features and media reception
Features of the hotel include fiber optic Wi-Fi, VOIP telephony, Sky 3D, 3D DVD library, Blu-ray DVD Library, Nespresso coffee facilities, Hästens Massage Beds, iPod docking station, and 46" Panasonic flat-screen televisions.[1][10] Eccleston also has shower glass that can turn from transparent to frosted by flipping a switch. Additional bathroom features include heated floors.[1]
In 2013, the Toronto Star listed Eccleston as a "hotel for health-minded travelers" based on the sleep-induced sounds and images that are broadcast in each room which are designed to promote better sleep.[11]
