Lambro serves up new look for top
restaurants
Lambro Contracts complete contract to oversee redesign and revamping of restaurants at London Hilton on Park Lane and Hilton London Metropole hotels, plus Hilton London Heathrow Airport.
What made the achievement even more impressive was that Lambro's team of skilled craftsmen and contractors worked on the three sites simultaneously and as the three hotels continued operating Lambro Contracts' reputation for on-time, minimum disruption project management came to the fore yet again as the work was completed to the client's high specification

At the London Hilton on Park Lane the 130-seat Podium restaurant was transformed from its previous Park Brasserie concept.
The Lambro team stripped out the old Brasserie and rebuilt the restaurant and bar to create a new ambience from drawings and details by designers The Manser Practice.
Highlights of Podium are the beautifully-sculpted ceiling and the polished wood walls of the entrance.
At the Hilton London Metropole on Edgware Road, Lambro stripped out the Fiamma Bar and Restaurant and, working with design company Jestico and Whiles, created new bar and serving areas including new services and a mix of ceramic, vinyl and timber flooring.
The Brasserie Restaurant is set in an airy glass atrium at Hilton's Heathrow-based hotel and, having combined the expertise of Lambro Contracts and The Manser Practice, has undergone a complete change of design.
An attractive oasis has been created for air travellers who stay at the popular airport hotel before jetting around the world.
One of the highlights of the new restaurant is two large fabric canopies under which diners eat.
Lambro Contract's Sales Manager Keith Shirley said: "The contract to create three restaurants was very interesting for all the people who worked on it.
The three locations were all so different and we were able to show off the skills we have to produce quality work as the designers' envisaged it.
"Our teams had to be very aware that the hotels had to operate as normal while the work was in progress.
The client was suitably pleased with the end results at all three locations".
Paul Taylor, project manager at Hilton, said: "Hilton has established a sound working relationship with Lambro Contracts spanning several years founded upon its client-focussed, flexible approach and ability to consistently deliver projects of the required high standards of quality, on time and on budget.".
