The Grade II listed Joshua Hoyle Building was built by architect
Charles Heathcote in 1906 as a textile warehouse. It is of
considerable historical interest as an early example of steelframe
construction. LRW were first appointed in 1997 as architects working in collaboration with Amanda Rosa on the first contemporary extension which allowed the previously disused building to become a destination boutique hotel.
Another appointment followed in 2002 for joint architecture
and interior design for the second sensitive extension of the
building and the refurbishment of the reception, bar and
bedrooms of the existing hotel. Originally 120 bedrooms, the
extensions added 65 rooms over 5 levels. LRW were also appointed to complete a single storey restaurant extension in 2013.
