It has a private lift lobby, a dedicated service entrance and service lift from the hotel, which allows staff to deliver room service orders or to collect and deliver laundry.Other features include Italian marble walls and floors, a stone fireplace and ebony veneer wall paneling.
“The Corinthia Hotel Private Residences purchase is the biggest deal in Whitehall in the last five years,” said Aston Chase’s director and partner, Simon Deen. “The deal equates to a price of just under £3,000 per sq ft, compared to other high-end developments in Mayfair the couple looked at which were priced at around £7,000 per sq ft.” Deen added that Hong Kong buyers want “homes with pristine, brand new interiors” but that they also “love British history.”
