With its terraces and large windows the open aspect of Bosco brings light flooding into the building, and the materials used capitalise to enhance this lightness. Artwork too is used to good effect with strong coloured canvases forming visual stops to the views across spaces. Using images of the natural world also helps to bring the outside into the building.

Bedrooms are functional and include good work desks. Furniture is manufactured by the owners own works which is a mixed blessing in that some pieces are lacking sophistication that the contract market needs compared to domestic use. Again lighting in the bedrooms is handled confidently and provides a touch of sophistication. The use of strong wallpaper patters also makes the environment appear more sophisticated and raises Bosco above the normal run-of-the-mill suburban hotel.

Meeting rooms, already popular, fill a much needed local gap in the market place - a need that is replicated across many area of London. Suburbs like Surbtion are quite large towns in their own right and the shortage of function and meeting room space is marked.

Stylish and well positioned, Bosco brings a new dimension to hotel provision in the Kingston area, and area that is gaining its third Travelodge but which is still talking about adding a new four star – something that has been the subject of discussion for the last ten years but which has seen no action. Into this vacuum has come the Bosco, with the owners already looking to acquire a second building, taking a further nibble out of the donut ring.
