Soho is the creative and entertainment centre of London, where heritage architecture meets contemporary design. Recently, Gilbert Art Services was commissioned to take part in an extensive artwork installation for a luxury boutique hotel, bringing a curated, gallery-standard aesthetic to one of the city's most vibrant postcodes.
Tasked with a full-scale artwork installation across a 300-room luxury hotel, our team managed the technical handling and installation of hundreds of pieces, ensuring every guest suite, corridor, and public space reflected the hotel’s premium brand identity.
Large-Scale Hospitality Expertise: London and Beyond
At Gilbert Art Services, we aren't just local specialists; we are reliable partners for the international hotel sector. Our experience spans the most demanding postcodes in London and extends to high-end projects abroad.
Whether we are installing artwork in a historic Soho townhouse or coordinating logistics for overseas developments, we understand the global standards required by luxury hoteliers. This international perspective allows us to bring high-end techniques to every picture hanging service we provide.
The Logistics of 300+ Rooms
Executing an artwork installation of this magnitude requires experience and organisation. Our workflow for this Soho project included:
High-Volume Coordination: Installing curated pieces across 300 guest rooms with zero margin for error in alignment or height.
Complex Access in Public Spaces: Utilising specialist scaffolding towers to hang large, heavy works in double-height lobbies and central stairwells.
Substrate Versatility: Securely mounting art into diverse wall types, from modern acoustic partitions in guest rooms to heritage masonry in the hotel’s historic lounge.
Seamless Integration & Out-of-Hours Service
We understand that in the commercial sector it is necessary to accommodate the hotel's tight opening schedule, our team operated an out-of-hours service, working through the night to ensure that common areas were transformed while the hotel remained functional. Our behind the scenes approach means we arrive, install, and strike our equipment before the first guest checks in, leaving behind nothing but perfectly hung art.
