Exclusively for Forbes, Philip Chan, Page Hotels’ business development manager, reveals more about the brand and what London's new Page8 hotel will bring to the city.
The hotel is also not short on style. Across the 138 bedrooms, there is a smart petrol blue, white and grey palette with muted copper details. Statement leather headboards and wood panelling give a sophisticated feel, while nightstands are inspired by travel trunks – giving a nod to the ‘exploration’ theme.
We are catering for a niche sector of the hotel scene in London – the affordable luxury clientele. Everything in the hotel has been designed to ‘make sense’, while keeping the aesthetics minimal and unfussy. At Page8, our rooms are extremely quiet, for instance, as we have paid a lot of attention to achieving the ultimate sleep quality for our customers, so there is a choice of pillows, soft linens, and super-comfortable beds to sleep in.It’s all about the details which elevate your experience.
We see this a big part of the brand. We’ve started to apply for green certificates, such as Green Key and are aiming for Certified B Corporation accreditation. For the coffee shop, we are using as many eco-friendly products as possible. While for the hotel, we have installed energy-saving equipment, such as the CHP units, to make sure we run as efficiently as possible. I think the biggest change post-Covid will be the length of stay that people will take.
