Striking re-brand of this existing property to a new Holiday Inn complete with Open Lobby concept
How it began Backstory
Delivering a fresh, contemporary and dynamic Open Lobby design, our transformation of the existing Leaf Hotel in Dover to a new Holiday Inn completed on site during August 2020.
Our design for the unusual octagon shaped public areas embraces the multifunctional characteristics and brand hallmarks of the Holiday Inn brand, created to deliver modern & contemporary spaces that flex to every guests’ needs.

What we did Our approach
Executing on the IHG Open Lobby concept and adapting this for the unique location of the Leaf Hotel, our design focused on the guest experience and operational efficiencies. In bringing the Lounge, Bar and To Go Cafe to the center of the space, we’ve created a dynamic and activated hub, central to the hexagonal architecture. This is complimented by a welcoming and more intimate dining experience, along with a stand-alone business, conference and banqueting facility.
