Travel Back in Time with Sea Containers London New Cabin Suites
Sea Containers London, the luxury, lifestyle hotel located on the vibrant South Bank, have Unveiled four new “cabin suites”, each transporting guests to one of the golden eras of cruising. The new suites are an extension of the overarching narrative of the hotel with design reminiscent of a 1920s transatlantic cruise liner and the glamour these journeys represented. The Edwardian Cabin Suite, Art Deco Cabin Suite, Mid-Century Cabin Suite and Dynasty Cabin Suite are available for stays now.
Each suite has been brought to life with period-appropriate vintage and antique furnishings sourced by Jacu Strauss, Designer and Creative Director of Lore Group, in partnership with pre-loved market place, Vinterior. The sourcing of vintage pieces adds depth and character to each suite and is reflective of the hotel group’s ongoing efforts to close the loop on hospitality furniture by reusing items already in circulation.
The Edwardian Cabin Suite captures the feeling of an early 1900s cabin, the period in which luxury cruise journeys originally boomed. The bedroom of this cabin suite boasts an antique Edwardian mahogany leather top kidney-shaped desk, alongside an antique Edwardian upholstered walnut armchair and a floor lamp with an in-built marble table adorning the living area. Each design detail transports guests to a time before their own.
The Art Deco Cabin Suite will host statement vintage pieces, including a set of Swedish walnut bedside tables, a restored floor lamp with two in-built tables, and a stunning 1930s art deco sofa and armchair set. The space leans towards a monochromatic feel, with colour and texture bringing dimension through the wood accents of these pieces, and pops of cork.
The Mid-Century Cabin Suite represents the late 1950s – 1960s era, during which ship design evolved and features including wood panelling and chrome accents became popular. This is brought to life through a Danish powder blue sofa and armchair set that acts as the focal point of the living space. Other highlights include a set of Italian mid-century wall lights adorning the walls, alongside a Ludwig Mies Van De Roche chrome leather chair – a true icon of mid-century design.
The Dynasty Cabin Suite offers guests a glimpse into the less than subtle glamour and opulence of the 1980s. The expressive, luxurious nature of this period is captured in a Maralunga Sofa by Vico Magistretti, alongside a Cursava Muebles lucite and glass coffee table and an antique ceramic floor lamp to name a few.
All four Cabin Suites will feature a selection of books inspired by its era and curated by Phaidon, including Mapplethorpe Flora: The Complete Flowers by Robert Mapplethorpe, The Japanese Garden by Sophie Walker, Atlas of Mid-Century Modern Masterpieces by Dominic Bradbury, Factory: Andy Warhol by Stephen Shore and many more. The hotel’s multi-award-winning bar Lyaness has created bottled cocktails inspired by the four eras, exclusively available to guests staying in the new suites.
