our projects
“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.”
The team at Curtis were integral to the magnificent refurbishment of The Queens Hotel in Leeds. All the bedrooms were transformed plus 17 new added, bringing the room total to 232 including a Presidential Suite. Curtis’s designers helped to achieve the art-deco inspired interiors. Choosing Curtis offered huge advantages from the initial consultations and site visits, right though to delivery and installation."
Curtis have successfully manufactured and installed quality fixed furniture on a number of our hotels. We have found the team to be very customer focused and they have always delivered in a collaborative manner."
Sharkey UK worked with Curtis on The Schloss Roxburghe to create the modern, elegant bedrooms in the new Estate House. Curtis manufactured and installed the luxurious fittings and fixtures to an excellent standard. The project was expertly managed from start to finish from design work to manufacture, with quick and easy communication which helped the project run smoothly. We have worked with Curtis on many projects and will continue to do so in the future."
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."
To avoid the risks of shipping from outside the UK, we wanted to select a British Manufacturer, and Curtis are one of the few with the capacity to supply bespoke case goods for 1,000 rooms over a 12-month project. Our relationship with Curtis goes back over 20 years. We needed to choose an expert partner we could trust to turn around the room refurbishments in a timely manner and with minimal disruption, as the hotel remained fully operational throughout."
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."
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.
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."
