UK: Luxury hospitality group AKA Hotels+Hotel Residences has completed the renovation of its Marylebone property, including its three-bedroom Mews townhouse.
Once the home of MI5 agents Anthony Blunt and Guy Burgess, AKA Marylebone offers eight one and two-bedroom suites with bespoke furnishings, luxury bath amenities, in-suite laundry facilities and fully equipped kitchens.
In addition to the main site, AKA also offers a standalone duplex Mews house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen and a study.
Nicholas Cardone, VP of design at AKA, worked with the design team at Heal’s UK to renovate the two buildings. Featured designers include Knoll, Ligne Roset, Case, EOS, Kartell and Chelsea’s handmade rug maker, Christopher Farr.
AKA also collaborated with Leigh Studios to curate the artwork throughout the two buildings. All replaced furniture has also been donated to homelessness charity Emmaus Greenwich.
Cardone said: “In such an elegant property in the heart of Marylebone’s Design District, our goal was to offer premium design-driven experiences, highly attentive service and world-class amenities. We have worked diligently and with our signature AKA creative passion to create a relaxing, liveable and luxury residential ambience.”
AKA CEO, Larry Korman said: “We pride ourselves in identifying, creating and transforming truly standout properties like the beautiful Georgian townhouse in Marylebone. But of course, it never ends there and what really elevates our residences is the warmth and professionalism of our services teams who can help fulfil all manner of personal requests and frequently develop wonderful relationships with our guests.”
