A Visionary Hotelier: Victorian Bathrooms of The Silo Hotel
Having developed a relationship spanning over 15 years with Liz Biden, owner and creator of The Royal Portfolio, a multi-award-winning group of boutique hotels, Victorian Bathrooms is proud to be part of her latest creation, The 28 room Silo Hotel. The Silo Hotel has only had its doors open for a year and is already gleaning international awards, including inclusion on Condé Nast Traveller’s Hot List 2018.
Whilst the glimmering faceted exterior is designed by the London based Heatherwick Studio; the interior is the brainchild of Liz Biden. Liz has created each room to have its own individual flair with an eclectic mix of art, silks and golden chandeliers. The highlights are the breath-taking bathrooms; each uniquely styled with glamorous taste and magnificent bathroom-ware, the majority of which Liz selected from Victorian Bathrooms’ exclusive range, each item personally sourced by owners Lance & Margaret Goodale.
“Liz is adamant about ensuring that comfort is paramount in the bathrooms,” says Margaret Goodale. “In all the bathrooms the centrepiece, below the grand chandelier, is one of our bespoke luxury baths, with the “Silo Silver” metallic finish having been commissioned especially for this prestigious destination.”
Equally at home are double console basins with elegant ceramic legs. These sinuous and smooth consoles echo the flowing curves influenced by the Art Nouveau movement and complete the classic contemporary setting of the bathroom.
Every bathroom is fitted with the Britannia range of taps and shower mixers; all manufactured for and exclusive to Victorian Bathrooms. Credit to the Bidens for being cognisant of the current water crisis; they have fitted every water-saving device imaginable to each of the bathrooms.
