51 Buckingham Gate, Taj Suites and Residences, London will open the world’s first Jaguar Suite to regular mortals with big wallets this September. The collaboration of two Tata-owned companies, Taj Hotels Resorts and Jaguar, this sleek two-bedroom abode brings together lassic and contemporary Jaguar models, from the legendary 1960’s E-type to the state-of-the art C-X75.
Overseen by Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum and his in-house design team, the suite features specially-commissioned auto-inspired artwork and displays. It uses materials taken from the cars themselves, such as leather, metal and high gloss veneer.
“The Jaguar experience starts subtly at the door, with sleek wood panelling greeting guests on arrival and Jaguar damask lining the bedroom walls. Intriguing design features are evident throughout, from the minimalistic clean-fuel fireplace referencing the shape of the brand’s hallmark rear window to the finest leather that lines the cars, ebony veneer doors and custom-made Jaguar wallpaper,” Taj says.
One wall is covered in Italian leather, embedded with a 42 inch television and the modern and minimalist clean-fuel fireplace, referencing the rear windows of the cars to complete the sophisticated look. The suite offers the best in sound systems (Denon and Creston), with Blu-ray DVD player, iPod docking station and Sonance ceiling speakers throughout.
“Small Jaguar wave motifs and Jaguar trapeze detailing accompany an array of carefully selected collector’s items that adorn the suite and will be familiar sights to those who know and love these luxury motoring masterpieces,” Taj Suites adds.
