Baker Mallett acted as Project Manager, Quantity Surveyor and Principal Designer on the refurbishment of Windermere’s Hydro Hotel, which has now been newly named “The Ro”.

The Hydro Hotel was built as a Victorian Villa in 1881 and is Grade II listed. Originally a private residence, it was then converted into the Hydro Hotel with a number of major extensions and alterations which increased the amount of bedrooms.

The project included the complete refurbishment of the Hotel, including formation of new entrance, bar, and restaurant areas, creation of new bedrooms, and improvements to existing bedrooms to provide a total of 86 bedrooms. Works also comprised of re roofing and formation of a new link and stairs between two separate parts of the hotel.
