Suites - want for nothing; wish for nothing

All our suites are different in their interior design and decorative finishes, having been sensitively restored and modernised with a discerning integrity. Interior designer, Guy Oliver has maintained the period grandeur through his faithful interpretation. He has simultaneously enhanced the comfort and advanced the technology, in a complementary and contemporary gilt-edged design concept.

The prominent paintings in each suite are part of an eclectic private collection, spanning centuries and genres, from old masters to modern abstracts; reinforcing the diverse artistic culture that graces the walls and panelling throughout the Connaught.

Bedrooms are dedicated to sleep and retreat: the bespoke, hand-painted, mahogany cupboards in all the suites’ bedrooms are spacious as well as state-of-the-art; the king-sized beds are dressed in luxurious Italian linen from Pratesi; the writing desks are in-laid with special hide; the lighting is remote controlled to suit every occasion. Windows are framed with thickly interlined swathes of damask and the blissfully refined sitting-rooms enjoy tastefully stocked cocktail-bars, housed in carefully restored, lacquered black and gold-leaf Chinese chests.

As with all the suites, the lavish bathrooms, in pure white Thassos-marble with nickel fittings, deco-styled vanities, enamelled cast iron tubs, and spacious walk-in showers, are as striking as they are functional. An endless supply of Asprey potions and lotions complete our five-star suite cosseting.
