The open plan space was designed by architect Hugh Wallace.
Statements
Damian Meehan of Douglas Wallace said, "We wanted to create an all-day food and beverage operation from a 7am breakfast to a 10pm dinner. The design approach therefore had to allow for flexibility and more importantly the ability to change the mood from morning, afternoon and evening. The design allows the space to adapt and deliver the maximum number of covers.
He added, "The design inspiration aimed to create distinct character zones within the overall space offering flexibility to cater for individuals as well as smaller and larger groups. Crisply detailed natural oak slatted dividers, mirrored backdrops, beautiful fabrics and interior planting add texture and interest to the space. The spaces are defined by bespoke joinery backdrops to the foyer, bar and restaurant areas. The end result is a complete transformation of the ground floor areas as a comfortable and relaxing environment for hotel guests and locals alike."
Commenting on the hotel developments, Andrea Wallace, general manager, said, "We are thrilled with the finished product and the ground floor transformation is nothing short of exceptional. We have had a busy 18 months since works began and the refurbishment has given a new lease of life to what is a very busy area with a constant flow of guests through our doors. I am so grateful to the wonderful team here at Aspect Hotel who have worked tirelessly to provide an exceptional level of service to our guests, especially throughout the pandemic. To come out the other side celebrating our 4-star status is testament to their resilience and hard work. We are excited for the next chapter and look forward to showcasing our new ground floor."
