- TOPIC | Privileged Account Management : Ensuring IT Compliance & PCI Standards
From the moment you enter L’oscar, you know you are in for an element of luxury that is as unique as the hotel’s ambiance.
Built between 1901 and 1903, in a style coined “Edwardian Free Baroque”, it was the London headquarters of the Baptist Church. Architect Arthur Keen mixed ‘Wrenaissance’ style with Arts & Crafts influences, working with some of the best artists and craftsmen of the time to create much of the exterior and interior design: ornately plastered ceilings, carved fireplaces, oak panelling, and finely worked plaques.
L’oscar showcases the theatrical opulence in which the Parisian interior design excels: stylized peacock motif doors, a mirrored counter at the centre of the hotel’s Baptist Bar, hollow-stem Champagne coupes, butterfly wing taps and an eclectic range of objets d’art scattered around the hotel, including the Edwardian handbags of the restaurant staff.
Guests were welcomed in the lobby and guided to the elegant Committee Room, for networking and a Champagne reception.
