The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is recognised as one of London's grandest. Set in the heart of glamorous Knightsbridge, the hotel overlooks Hyde Park with wonderful views of the Household Cavalry and the chic Knightsbridge shops.
Albion Stone supplied just under 8m3 of Portland Jordans Whitbed for the Terrace in the form of honed slabs and curved paving. Members of the project team from Sixar visited the Quarry & Factory in March 2008 and selected Jordans Whitbed.
The stone was delivered throughout June 2008 and the total value of the stone supplied came to £31,000.
"Quintessentially English, this pretty al fresco spot, attached to the Mandarin Oriental hotel and overlooking Hyde Park, offers a real summer treat. Enjoy a light brunch, refreshing lunch, delicate afternoon tea or substantial evening meal surrounded by colourful blooms, manicured lawns and views over the landscaped park." - www.londontown.com
