The two year refurbishment programme of the top London venue, cost an estimated £220m and saw the hotel re-open to the public in October. IVC Media's sound systems have been installed in the Riverside, Lower Thames and Lincoln rooms, the Riverside Restaurant and Lancaster Ballroom. Some of the rooms have featured in blockbuster films such as Notting Hill in the past.
As well as providing audio for major events such as live stage performances, the sound systems are also set up to provide background music, voice evacuation and audio for corporate conferences and events. IVC also supplied and installed RGB lighting in the Lincoln room and the Lancaster ballroom.
"It has been a privilege to work on one of the most ambitious hotel restoration projects undertaken in the UK in recent times," confirms Ray Harding, chairman of IVC Media. "One of the main challenges with the installation was ensuring that our technical equipment was installed essentially un-noticed within the rooms. The standard of décor within the hotel is second-to-none and it was important connecting cables and speakers were strategically and discreetly placed for optimum performance."
