The Seven Hotel and Aurum Restaurant in Southend On Sea

The Tibbatts Abel design team put careful consideration into the design of each of the bedrooms at the luxury seafront boutique hotel in Southend-on-sea, Essex. The spectacular sea facing rooms make the most of the uninterrupted views, blurring the boundaries between inside and out.

Within the rooms themselves, luxurious touches abound, including; leather upholstered headboards, velvet feel tub chairs, non-mist bathroom mirrors, soft pile carpets, and brass features throughout really add to the elegant & timeless feel we have proposed.

The design of the upper levels consists of serene and neutral hallways with hints of brass and marble which provides a harmonious balance to the rooms’ airy, pastel sea-green hues.

The apartments have been designed with high end luxury in mind. Each memorable apartment boasts king sized beds with upholstered headboard detail, highlighted in brass framework. Soft pile gold toned patterned carpet. Wall panelling in tones of off-white against black and brass loose furniture items creating a striking contrast.

As well as the luxury bedrooms the TA team worked on creating welcoming public areas that would balance out with the mood and ambience reflective in the boutique hotel.

Our inspiration for the design and colour palette is taken from the sea, Iridescent metallic hues along with a highlight tone of sea green are proposed throughout.

The lounge bar is a space where people can relax and take in their surroundings, with a mix of high level poseur tables, adjacent to the bar or low-level lounge style seating within the window line. The result creates a multifunctional space which caters for an array of social occasions and business meetings etc.

The Aurum restaurant has been designed with a large central installation/lighting feature to the centre of the space to create drama. Intimate booths are balanced out with loose tables, these allow flexibility within the space for large groups and parties. Bi-folding doors towards the front of the building open out onto the terrace area, this creates a relationship between the internal and external which is great for summer months.
