About the project

Vascroft Contractors Ltd have been appointed as the main principal contractor in July 2024 to deliver the vision for The Imperial Hotel Bloomsbury. The project aims to ensure the hotel once again becomes an iconic destination, staying true to its unique character and style while creating a legacy cherished by future generations.

The Imperial Hotel will undergo a comprehensive renovation, with the final design subject to refinement. The Brutalist building will be transformed into a 4-star deluxe lifestyle hotel, set to become the flagship of the family-owned hospitality group when it reopens in 2026.

The scope of works includes full design and construction services, encompassing structural alterations, façade upgrades, fit-out of existing rooms, and improvements to circulation areas. A new wellness area and roof terrace will be added, along with a cut-and-carve construction on the roof to create a stunning sky bar offering panoramic views of London’s skyline.
