Dating from 1908, The Dilly is a Grade II* listed building on Piccadilly and an integral component of Westminster’s Regent Street conservation area. Besides being one of London’s finest examples of Edwardian Baroque architecture, it stands as a seminal work for one of its most practiced architects, Richard Norman-Shaw. We were brought in to support the proprietors in bringing the hotel up to modern standards while retaining its distinctive character.
Rodic Davidson have been working with The Dilly for more than ten years now, supporting with the relevant applications for works on site. We have secured the relevant consents for upgrading fire doors throughout the building, improving technical performance in a sensitive manner. Areas of defective ceiling plaster have been addressed after extensive communications with the City of Westminster. And we have taken the first step towards replacing the external windows.
Alongside these structural improvements, we have supported the rebranding of the hotel, gaining permission for alterations to the external signage, the erection of new flagpoles, and the installation of window boxes and planters on the Piccadilly elevation of the hotel. Ongoing dialogues with the planning committee have enabled the progression of work on site and the successful granting of consents for upcoming building improvements.
