Four Seasons - Refurbished

In the spring 2007 we unveiled the first phase of our gorgeous new look at the Four Seasons. We asked Graven Images to help us achieve this: a design consultancy based in Glasgow, which was also responsible for the interior of Tiger Lily in Edinburgh.

We gave them a brief: to bring the outside in – the rich textures and colours found in the loch, the trees, the landscape generally – and to weave in some Eastern influences (my other passion). Among other things, they sourced fabulous, re-coloured vintage pattern wallpaper from Cole & Sons (now up in the Oriental Sitting Room), antique pineapple bronze lamps with scarlet silk shades from Graham and Green and oversized upholstered Magellan lounge chairs in the Opium Room. They recommended new hardwood floors to complete the look. Our designer summed up the project: “The look is eclectic and energetic.” And The Scotsman said: “Past the row of wellies by the door, there is a surprise in store… It was like walking into the pages of Elle Decoration.” Visitscotland has now recommended us for four stars.

The final phase of the hotel bedrooms was completed prior to our opening weekend in 2008. The pressure was on, as we were fully booked for a wedding. The oriental theme has been continued, with a great palm pattern through black curtains and vivid red blinds, chinese tub chairs and some wonderful harris tweed bed throws.
