THE CARAVANSERAI
A not-your-average-boutique hotel in the heart of Bloomsbury, the Caravanserai is, despite its size, no less of a Grand Hotel. Its cumbersome layout and prodigal use of space creates an illusion in which you will believe. A unique take on the boutique hotel typology, this hotel does not stand for trends. It stands for you. It is there to take care of you, if you’ll let it. It stands for luxury at its epitome. Yes, it is lavish. Yes, it is extravagant. It is as comfortable as comfort can be, but it’s more than that. As a child would, leave your troubles behind you and you make your way to the emotional rehabilitation centre of your daydreams.
The Grand Staircase / Lobby
The atrium - notice the grand mirrored saucer floating overhead as you are welcomed to the levitating lobby.
The Grand Staircase
A grand staircase - partly fabric, partly phantom, a contradiction of frozen movement in time.

The Vertebrae
Based on the inverse of a staircase found in Gio Ponti's Villa Planchart, the Vertebrae's inclined treads propel one's descent.
