Project Overview

The painting and redecoration project at the St Giles Hotel, London, focused on refreshing guest accommodation areas and hotel passageways through high-quality decorative finishes and bespoke wallpaper installation. The works involved stripping out existing finishes, carrying out full surface preparation, and completely repainting selected rooms to create a clean, modern, and welcoming environment for guests. The decorative wallpaper installations across passageways were specially selected to complement the hotel’s contemporary interior styling and rich history.

Scope of Works

Room Preparation & Redecoration

Walls were washed down removing marks, dust, grease, mould, and grime.
Preparation of existing wall finishes within hotel rooms.
Repair, filling, sanding, and smoothing of walls and ceilings prior to decoration.
Applying base primers to cover water damage and mould.
Complete repainting of walls, ceilings, woodwork, and trims using durable commercial-grade paints.
Precision finishing around lighting, fixtures, glazing, and fitted furnishings.

Wallpaper Installation & Finishing

Full strip-out and preparation of existing wall and removing flaking or peeling paint.
Repairing, sanding, cleaning and priming of the walls.
Installation of bespoke feature wallpaper across multiple hotel passageways.
Careful alignment and pattern matching to maintain continuity throughout long corridor spaces.
Decorative finishing around architectural details, corners, and transitions.
Final detailing, snagging, and quality checks to ensure a flawless commercial finish.

Challenges & Solutions

Operational Environment: Working within an active hotel required careful scheduling and phased working to minimise disruption to guests and staff..
Large Passageway Installations: Long corridor walls demanded accurate wallpaper alignment and consistency across multiple sections.
Surface Wear & Damage: Existing wall surfaces showed signs of wear and required extensive preparation before decoration could begin.
Lighting Consistency: Hotel lighting conditions highlighted imperfections easily, requiring meticulous finishing and even paint application.
Tight Deadlines: The project programme required efficient coordination to complete multiple areas within the agreed timeframe while maintaining quality standards.

Outcome

The completed project successfully revitalised the hotel interiors with clean decorative finishes, refreshed guest spaces, and visually striking feature passageways. The newly painted rooms now provide a brighter, more contemporary atmosphere, while the bespoke wallpaper installations add character and sophistication throughout the circulation areas. Careful detailing and consistent workmanship ensured a polished finish across every part of the project.

Result

The redecoration works significantly improved the overall appearance and guest experience within the hotel. The combination of crisp painting finishes, modern decorative styling, and professionally installed wallpaper created a more refined and welcoming environment throughout the property. The project delivered a durable, high-quality finish suited to the demands of a busy commercial hospitality setting.
