Sanderson Hotel
History
Completed in 1958, the building was constructed as the headquarters and showroom for the Sanderson furnishing fabric company for the occasion of its centennial birthday. It was designed by architect Jeff Holroyd, of the architectural firm of Slater and Uren, and is a classic example of modern architecture. The original design plan allowed for dynamic room configurations. The building plan was fabricated around an open-to-the-sky inner courtyard with a Japanese garden designed by Philip Hicks. In 1991, the Sanderson building was listed Grade II with a star by the government’s English Heritage Commission. It was reopened in April 25, 2000 by Morgans Hotel Group with design by renowned designer Philippe Starck.
