SPECIALIST refurbishment company McCue Crafted Fit in Carrickfergus has added another London-based hotel to its prestigious portfolio following completion of the new Standard Hotel in King’s Cross.

Its work on a number of areas of the former Camden Town Hall Annexe, which opened to the public last month, consisted of the fit-out of the entire ground floor area including the Hotel Lobby and the foliage-filled Isla restaurant.

One of the stand out features of the hotel on Argyle Street is the colourful Double Standard bar. Designed by Shawn Hausman and created by McCue, it is the second longest bar in all of the UK.

Gary Purdy, managing director designate at the firm, said: “The Standard Hotel was a fantastic project for McCue to be involved in, especially with it being the brand’s first hotel outside the US. It gave us the opportunity to showcase our work and craftsmanship in what was a unique and exciting project.”

The Standard London, the brand’s sixth hotel, boasts 266 rooms, two restaurants and a recording studio.

McCue has previously completed projects in London for The Corinthia Hotel, Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square, The Berkeley Hotel and Claridge’s.
