our projects
The hotel's floor footprint resulted in various room types and configurations to accommodate the available space. To ensure the correct setup and components for each room, a master matrix was developed for Curtis to refer to. Each phase had a one-month timeframe, which Curtis had to manage efficiently to meet handover deadlines. Occasionally, the team had to work at a fast pace to accommodate additional joinery requested by the client. But the installation process was consistent throughout each phase to meet handover.
Barton Minty have engaged Curtis Furniture on several hotel projects, across a wide variety of brands and locations. As with most large scale hotel refurbishment, all have had their own specific challenges. The team at Curtis were always able to find solutions, resulting in delivery and installation of long lasting furniture."
In developing our design and aesthetic for our first Residents Club in South Kensington, it was essential to find exactly the right furniture partner. We wanted a company that would be completely in tune with our ambitions and yet contribute their own specialist knowledge - and in line with our commitment to sustainability, it was a key priority they should be a UK based manufacturer. The partnership we formed with Curtis delivered on all these key requirements and we look forward to working with Curtis again."
We have worked with the team at Curtis for over 20 years and on various hotel brands and private owners. They respond promptly when design information is issued and provide detailed quotations. They are also proactive when helping to resolve budgets or programme issues which arise. Their UK factory enables them to provide high quality furniture and to be flexible in meeting the challenges of large and complex installations."
Curtis manufactured bespoke furniture for 60 bedrooms at the prestigious St Andrews’ Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort & Spa. The hotel remained open throughout its multi-million pound refurbishment which meant that Curtis had to ensure the manufacture process ran smoothly and on time. Curtis’s experience in delivering hotel refurbishment projects enabled us to complete the project on time ahead of the Open."
Curtis recently worked with ourselves on a fast paced 274 bedroom refurbishment in the iconic Hilton Park Lane, London. From initial design stage Curtis provided an efficient service, producing drawings in a timely fashion, and nothing was an issue for them…even though this process ate into the Christmas holiday season!
From the delivery of materials, control of quality and the install process, Curtis once again provided an excellent service, leaving minimal defects or issues. They also proved extremely flexible with their approach, thus allowing us to complete the project 2 weeks in advance of the contracted handover which is a great achievement for all involved.
We would have no hesitation in using Curtis again for future projects."
The team at Curtis Furniture have supported us with 1,000+ key refurbishment projects over the past three years. The projects have been delivered at speed, with concurrent phases across a national portfolio of hotels, and the quality of case goods and loose furniture has remained consistently high. We trust Curtis to align with our standards of excellence, particularly in respect of quality and sustainability. We also know that, if and when projects throw up issues, we can rely on the team to respond swiftly and proactively."
“Much of a Hotel Indigo’s retelling of their individual neighbourhood story is achieved through design, weaving in local themes and references, thus demanding bespoke, considered solutions rather than standard off-the-peg options. Curtis’ genuine interest in the successful execution of the brief, giving nods to the local goldsmiths, architects and horologists, was both reassuringly productive and also refreshing. The initial expectations from us, the client, did not encompass the flexibility, time and grace that the Curtis team utilised, allowing the successful navigation around the preliminary value engineering and design adaptation demands, nor did we predict the continuation of this additional layer of client support which transpired to be pivotal to dissolving several unexpected hurdles which emerged as the build progressed.”
