For over a hundred years the Connaught has been one of London’s foremost five-star hotels. Its Mayfair location coupled with unashamed levels of luxury and service have established generations of loyal devotees – remarkably, there have only been six general managers since it opened in 1897. The Connaught has recently undergone a £70 million restoration to provide it with the ultimate in contemporary design whilst retaining the feel of the traditional English home and the discreet elegance exuded by this exclusive hotel.

The range of panelled Longden solid timber doorsets was the natural choice to fulfil the preservation and restoration brief and ensured a magnificent marriage of traditional and modern - an exemplary mix of panel styles, glass, frosted glass, paint and walnut defines the space with the Longden products selected. The warmth and depth of the 5 panel Spencer style walnut doorsets housed in deep ornate frames provides for luxury opening spaces whilst the Dorchester style, finished in illuminating white paint, enhances the detail of the panels. Fully glazed door leaves create grand spaces as light streams from one area of the hotel to the next. Longden doorsets stand proud amongst the works of art and antiques and will stand the test of time for years to come.
