| City Inn Westminster: "not too showy" |
|
It was one of 63 new buildings to win this year’s Royal Institute of British Architecture awards in recognition of their design and contribution to the local environment.
Designed by architectural practice Bennetts Associates, City Inn Westminster was the only hotel to win an award.
The judges praised the hotel for its elegant design and for being “a clever piece of urban infill” that was “handsome and confident without being too showy”.
