Article source: Blooey / Remko Verhaagen Imagine a re-designed floating former detention platform, iconic industrial design, unique waterfront location and a social business model – Good Hotel London, designed by Remko Verhaagen and Sikko Valk, introduces premium hospitality with a cause to the London hotel-scene. Good Hotel London arrived at the historic Royal Victoria Docks and is ready to continue its journey, after having run a successful pop-up year in its hometown Amsterdam. The hotel features 148 stylish rooms, an inspiring living, meeting rooms, a spacious lobby area and rooftop terrace.  Image Courtesy © CHRIS BAKER

Luxury was found in simplicity and originality. “We combined Dutch Design classics by Lensvelt and Moooi with hand-picked items of Hema and custom designed signature pieces,” say Remko Verhaagen. In the same way that the Good Hotel gives new opportunities to their team – regardless background or skills, the designers thought of imperfection as a sign of character. “We used natural, no non-sense materials, colors and textures such as steel, concrete and wood to enhance the existing structure,” Sikko Valk says. The result is a warm industrial atmosphere with lots of personality and most importantly an inviting context for genuine interaction between people – staff & guests.

A custom-made training program which offers hospitality training to individuals from disadvantaged communities and people with tough backgrounds, helping them to integrate in the job market and give them a real perspective to a better future. The concept won the REBELS business award for greatest innovation/disruption and was nominated for the Entree Magazine hotel concept award.
