Design studio Yabu Pushelberg has completed a five-star hotel in London's Leicester Square where rooms are all dedicated to different members of a theatre or movie production's cast and crew.In tribute to its location, in the heart of the city's theatre district, The Londoner is designed to echo the different sights, sounds and atmosphere you experience during a performance.

Dramatic lighting, intricately painted scenography and architectural models all feature in an interior that celebrates the drama of cinema and theatre.George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, founders of New York- and Toronto-based Yabu Pushelberg, said the aim was to create a multi-layered experience over the building's 16 floors.

A drawing room featured murals depicting scenes of flora and fauna.It was this that led them to create different types of scene throughout the building, representing everyone from the scriptwriter and director, to the sound mixer and visual effects supervisor."The Londoner is an homage to performance, with each public space representing a character of someone essential to bringing a production to life," said Pushelberg.

The hotel reception pays tribute to the cinematographer with a room that aims to set the mood. Details include stage models and a metallic moon-head created by artist Andrew Rae.In homage to the director, the lobby bar takes the form of a stage with curtain-style fluted wall panels and a mirrored ceiling, while the restaurant next door is filled with black and white graphic portraits that represent the characters created by the scriptwriter.

The Green Room features velvet furniture, marble mosaic flooring and a bar topped by gold megaphones.More lounge spaces can be found on the upper and lower floors.The sound-mixer takes centre stage in a basement bar called The Green Room, where undulating walls and curvy velvet furniture create the impression of sound waves.

The lower levels also include a pool and spa that takes cues from set design, a series of meetings rooms filled with props, and a golden-toned ballroom designed to suit the glitz and glamour promoted by the publicity agent.

8 at The Londoner is a restaurant, bar and terrace designed to represent a production's performers.Upstairs, an eighth-floor restaurant, bar and terrace celebrates actors and performers. It includes a rope installation intended to reference bondage, as a way of suggesting the human bodies that take centre stage.

The only place the drama softens is in the 350 bedroom suites, which were designed with a brighter and more minimal aesthetic.The Londoner is the latest in a series of high-profile hotels that Yabu Pushelberg has designed, following Las Alcobas Napa Valley in California, The Times Square Edition and Moxy Chelsea, both in New York.
