Hilton Garden Inn Case Study

The Hilton Garden Inn at T2 Heathrow Airport sought to create a unique rooftop bar experience offering panoramic views of the airport runways. In addition, the safety and aesthetics of various staircases and other areas within the hotel were a top priority. SMART Balustrades contributed by delivering a range of safety solutions that combined functionality and visual appeal.

The primary challenge was to provide structural glass balustrades for the rooftop bar that would meet strict safety requirements while allowing guests to enjoy uninterrupted views of the runways. Additionally, the various staircases in the hotel required balustrades that could seamlessly blend with the overall design, maintaining a sense of elegance and safety.

SMART Balustrades offered a comprehensive set of solutions. For the rooftop bar, they provided 1500mm high 1.5kN loading structural glass balustrades that ensured both safety and unobstructed views. For the staircases, stainless steel and glass balustrades were designed and installed, integrating seamlessly with the hotel’s architectural elements. SMART Balustrades also supplied stainless steel trolley bump rails, column protectors, and storage bays, enhancing the overall safety and convenience of the hotel.

In collaboration with Grove Developments and Arora Hotels, SMART Balustrades meticulously executed the installation of these solutions, ensuring that each component met the specific safety standards of the hotel. The focus remained on delivering safety and elevating the overall aesthetic experience.
