Case Study: Regent Palace Hotel achieves heritage-led restoration and modern fire safety with dormakaba

Regent Palace Hotel - Customer Case Study

Regent Palace Hotel, a Grade II listed former hotel redeveloped into mixed office, retail and restaurant space around a central atrium, needed door hardware that preserved its art‑deco character while meeting modern safety and legislative requirements. dormakaba supplied tailored ironmongery and closers for the project, including ITS 96 concealed closers, TS 92 cam‑action closers with electro‑magnetic hold‑open, and the HSW‑GP sliding glass wall system with bronze fittings.

dormakaba installed ITS 96 units in public areas for a minimal, period‑appropriate finish, TS 92 closers with electro‑magnetic hold‑open to secure fire doors safely in the open position, and the HSW‑GP system between the central lobby and café to complement the lobby colouring. The result was compliant, visually sympathetic door hardware that preserved the building’s heritage look, enhanced fire‑safety functionality, and contributed to the redevelopment’s wider recognition, including a BREEAM “Excellent” rating and RIBA London National Award.
