The Westbury Hotel, Mayfair, London

The Westbury Hotel redevelopment in Mayfair represents a landmark transformation, combining ambitious luxury design with complex engineering. The project brings new life to a major commercial property in the heart of London, elevating it into a modern, high‑end destination.

The Westbury Hotel project involved the complex task of merging four individual listed buildings into a single, unified luxury property. Because these structures are protected heritage assets, each came with strict conservation requirements including significant limitations on how much additional load their original frameworks could support.

This created a major engineering challenge: any increase in structural weight had to be kept to an absolute minimum. Traditional construction solutions, reinforcements, and modern building systems often add substantial mass, but in this case, even seemingly minor additions risked exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the historic fabric.

Farrat joined the journey in June 2022, supplying specialist acoustic flooring for a scheme that excavated two new basement levels just 20 mm from the Victoria Underground tunnel, added a brand‑new penthouse level, and extended the rear of the building to create over 95 additional suites. After early manufacturing in 2023 and a year of delays, the project reignited under new construction management in April 2025.

Farrat has since delivered large‑scale installations of CineFLOOR PRO (7,920 m²) and CineFLOOR NEO (3,437 m²), supported by tens of thousands of isolators, over 3,000 plywood sheets, and more than 400 pallets of materials, feeding one of the busiest sites in London with over 15 trade contractors and 400 operatives daily.

Part of a £600 million redevelopment, Farrat’s £3.2 million contribution supports the hotel’s evolution into a world‑class luxury destination ahead of its St. Regis licensing valued at £1.3 billion.
