This image captures the Kingston Hotel’s new bar identity — warm, contemporary and unmistakably welcoming. Fluted timber joinery wraps the bar in a rhythmic, tactile surface, while arched shelving with integrated lighting showcases the spirits selection like a curated display. Gloss-glazed tiles reflect ambient light, giving the room a gentle sheen. Mosaic flooring grounds the space and adds a nostalgic reference to classic pub craftsmanship. The overall impression is one of effortless hospitality: familiar materials elevated through precise detailing and soft, inviting illumination.
The main bar of the Kingston Hotel defines the project’s interior direction — a synthesis of craft, comfort and contemporary hospitality cues. Fluted timber cladding forms the bar’s distinctive façade, chosen for its warmth, durability and the subtle play of light across its vertical profiles. A honed stone countertop provides a crisp, elegant edge while withstanding the daily demands of service. At the rear, softly arched niches introduce a gentle architectural gesture that breaks the linearity of the space. Each arch is lined with warm integrated lighting, turning the back bar into a glowing backdrop that highlights bottles and glassware with gallery-like clarity.
The wall tiles behind the bar blend texture and sheen, giving the interior a handmade, tactile quality. Their soft irregularity catches light from the globe pendants overhead, ensuring a lively yet understated atmosphere across day and night service. Underfoot, the mosaic floor is a deliberate nod to pub heritage, offering visual detail and practical durability in one gesture.
Furniture selections reinforce the balance of tradition and modernity. Bentwood stools echo classic pub silhouettes while maintaining a lightweight, timeless aesthetic. High tables with simple metal legs provide flexible perching zones for social groups without interrupting the bar’s visual rhythm.
Every element — from lighting levels to material junctions — has been considered to create a bar that feels instantly familiar yet freshly refined. The result is a space that supports the hotel’s evolution: comfortable for locals, elevated for visitors, and crafted with a clear, contemporary interior vision.
