Corinthia London

Project Overview

Compass EP proudly partnered with main contractor McCue to deliver a comprehensive mechanical and electrical installation package for the prestigious Corinthia London. Working closely with McCue's expert team, we supported the complete refurbishment of over 30 luxury suites and rooms, including the stunning Trafalgar, Whitehall and Deluxe Junior Suites. This high-profile project required exceptional attention to detail and seamless integration of advanced building services to create environments of unparalleled comfort and sophistication to complement McCue's exquisite joinery and fit-out work.
