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 upgraded fire doors in all parts of the building, improving the technical performance of the building in a sensitive manner. Areas of defective ceiling plaster have been addressed in accordance with planning consents. And we have upgraded the glazing to meet contemporary expectations.
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.
