who we are
Bell & Swift is a commercial Interior Design Studio who design hospitality.
Founded by Dawn Campbell and Craig McKie. We have over 20 years combined experience working with brands such as InterContinental Hotels Group, Hilton, Accor Hotels and Marriott International. Our work includes brand prototype design, new build hotels and major refurbishments throughout the UK, Europe and North America.
We have a simple philosophy. To make connections in order to deliver work that is creative, honest and commercial. We believe in hard work and collaboration with our clients and the greater design team. Our work doesn’t end at 5.30pm, we are constantly thinking and developing ideas. Our studio is flexible, bending and shifting to suit the projects and clients we partner with crafting exceptional interiors that work.
what we do
We understand hotel design and operations. Over the last ten years there has been a fundamental shift in the way people use hotels. Travellers seek opportunities to blend business with leisure looking for unique experiences. We thrive on providing those experiences. Every interior should connect with the end-user to be a success. In order to achieve this connection, we are constantly learning and challenging ourselves, reading, travelling, researching local areas and target markets.
our latest project
Our team have worked on many large-scale refurbishment projects. Each project has been complex and challenging in its own way, however giving a tired product a new lease of life is always rewarding. Projects have included working with Hilton, Marriott, IHG and Accor to improve some of their landmark properties. We have a deep knowledge of the brand standards, a good understanding of the internal design process and great relationships with key people within each organisation. Making things run smoother for the Client team. We bring insight of the wider hotel market, comp set and locally relevant narrative detail to our work to produce creative designs. Impactful on completion and fresh for years to come.
