Massimo restaurant
at the Corinthia Hotel, London
Star designer David Collins says that he wanted his design for Massimo, a Mediterranean restaurant at London’s new Corinthia Hotel, to be ‘informal, enjoyable and beautiful’. And of course it is, with classic English architectural references, monochrome striped pillars and a refined palette of dark brown, black and green.

The Corinthian Club, Glasgow
Opened as a bank in 1842, this Grade I-listed building in central Glasgow has been reinvented several times over the years, becoming The Conrinthian Club bar and restaurant in 1999. Most recently, interior design firm Graven Images undertook a huge renovation, restoring the building’s glorious original features — think lofty ceilings, intricate gold-leaf detailing and sculptural plasterwork — while also re-imagining the layout, adding a casino and more glamorous bars. Without doubt, the city’s most dazzling spot for a stylish night out.
