Birch Selsdon | A-nrd studio

A-nrd have completed the major refurbishment and design of Birch Selsdon, the new ‘sister’ hotel to the award-winning Birch Cheshunt. The interior design studio’s first hotel project, the historic 19th century manor which is now home to the 181-guest room hotel is set within the 200-acre Selsdon Park, just 30 minutes from Central London.
Following an extensive refurbishment of the Victorian manor which began by stripping away numerous and unsympathetic modifications and additions which the building had seen, the studio uncovered many hidden gems including rarely seen mosaic parquet flooring, hidden round bay niches and old decorative stone façades.

Following their restorative approach, A-nrd began to craft an interior for the expansive manor with a home-away-from-home feel by rationalising the layout to create a better customer journey for guests. A-nrd have designed communal areas including the lobby, Orangery, all-day bar, the all-day dining room called Vervain, the Snug, the co-working area, meeting rooms and all 181 bedrooms and suites.
