Hotels, Restaurants & Bars
From boutique hotels, restaurants and bars to large-scale developments, we design places that are memorable, enduring, and commercially successful where every detail contributes to a richer guest experience.
The hospitality sector has faced significant disruption, but signs of recovery are strong. This is a sector defined by creativity and experience, and we’re proud to support developers and operators in shaping spaces that resonate.
Our approach is collaborative and insight-led, helping bring bold visions to life.

Hotels, Restaurants & Bars
Dalman Architects was asked to refurbish and extend the old Masonic Hotel in Cambridge, creating a new 5-star boutique hotel, The Clements.
The original building was largely stripped out.
On the ground floor we designed a new entrance lobby at the foot of the original stairs which were retained and refurbished, a lounge, function room and board room, and a restaurant and bar that extends into a new orangery styled space. At the rear we designed an extension to provide a lift.
The first floor features guest rooms in a new layout, and we also designed a new top floor of guest rooms by lifting the original roof slightly and utilising the space within.
The original basement was extended and converted into an underground bar – 1866 Speakeasy Bar.
