The Wanda Vista Hotel

Hospitality
KPF, ReardonSmith Architects

A beacon of luxury in the heart of Nine Elms in Central London

Part of the landmark One Nine Elms development on the Thames, the Wanda Vista Hotel was designed within one of the new KPF towers. Spanning the podium and lower tower levels, the scheme planned 170 guestrooms, including three presidential suites, together with a destination restaurant, sky bar, ballroom, spa, gym, swimming pool, and extensive meeting and dining facilities.

While at ReardonSmith Architects, Jonny Sin worked on the hotel’s architectural design between 2015 and 2018 and led the planning of its back-of-house areas, addressing the complex operational and servicing challenges of accommodating a luxury hotel within a constrained mixed-use high-rise development.

“It has been a pleasure working with ReardonSmith Architects on our Wanda Vista Hotel. In particular Jonny Sin who has been very helpful especially during our phase of redesign and space planning exercises in seeing what could be achieved with more economic layouts. As our changing brief evolved Jonny was constantly showing patience and alternative layouts to assist informed decisions to be made. I would gladly work with him again.”
