Lamington Group is planning to open Room2 Chiswick. It will be London’s first Hometel and the world’s first whole life net zero carbon hotel. It opens in the heart of Chiswick in December.
Room2 Chiswick is expected to be 89 per cent more energy efficient than the typical UK hotel per sq-mt. It will incorporate the technology to achieve net zero throughout both the design and construction stages and throughout its whole lifespan - focusing on reducing the greatest contributor to climate change, carbon emissions and greenhouse gases.
Room2 Chiswick will have 86 rooms each with a kitchenette and access to the cafe and restaurant. The building is inspired by the Arts & Craft movement so expect rooms fitted with bespoke handcrafted pieces from a range of local artists and designers.
Room2 Chiswick will also feature two ‘lab rooms’ to provide data on energy, water use and air quality, as well as learning from guest behaviour patterns. The building has been opened up to university partnerships to test new innovative technologies and interventions to reduce energy and carbon.
Room2 Chiswick is located just off Chiswick High Road in London. It is a short walk from Turnham Green tube station, served by the District and Piccadilly lines.
