St. James’ Court Hotel is a high quality, prestigious Hotel in central London, owned by Taj Hotels that is brimming with charm. The hotel is moments from Buckingham Palace and St. James’ Park, and close to Westminster, Victoria Station, the West End and Mayfair, placing it in a prime location. With 329 rooms and suites, BSG were employed as the M&E Design Consultants, to work alongside Box Associates, the Project Managers and Dexter Moren Associates, the Architects on the main project, to undertake the refurbishment and reconfiguration of approximately 200 Guest rooms in Dukes, Almoners and Regents with works to associated Public Areas. The work was planned in 3 phases (Almoners, Regents and Dukes yet to come) BSG services included:

• New individual Guestroom risers were formed to supply fresh air ventilation and extract from roof level air handling units, and new domestic hot and cold water services from basement with new drainage stacks. New power risers were centrally situated, per block with horizontal distribution per floor.
• Plant works including new ventilation supply and extract and remedials to water tanks in associated guestrooms
• New and refurbished lifts.
• New domestic services, ventilation, VRF and power vertical infrastructure.
• New back of house services area only as affected by Guestroom reconfigurations.
• Other  associated  MEP plant services renewal due to condition

• A relaxation area
• Two single treatments rooms
