01 · The brief

A new chapter in an old address

Cecil Hotel Murree has a history that gives its interiors an unusual weight. Established in 1851 as the Grand Hotel Cecil, the property became part of the long tradition of travel to Murree’s hills. Pearl Continental’s account describes its present identity through heritage, period character and the combination of historic atmosphere with modern comfort.

Working in such a setting requires an understanding of what guests have come to experience. They expect a hotel that functions comfortably today, but they also want to feel that the place has a history. Barry’s Collection’s commission was a turnkey interior project, bringing a complete furnishing responsibility to that relationship between old character and present-day use.
