💨 Abstract
The BT Tower in London, a landmark since 1964, is set for a major transformation into a high-end hotel. Originally built for phone calls, it featured a revolving restaurant and viewing platform, both closed by 1980. American company MCR Hotels acquired the tower in 2024 for £275 million, initially partnering with Heatherwick Studio, but now working with Orms Architects.
