PRIVATE CINEMA HOME THEATRE
The basement lounge also houses the private cinema home theatre system. At the touch of a button, the 2.5 meter-wide projector screen descends from the ceiling, the lights dim and change colour, as your chosen movie begins to play, brought alive by the 3D 4K high-end projector with immersive surround-sound Dolby Atmos 7.1 cinema sound system.
STATE OF THE ART SMART HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM
2 Portland Place, whilst being a 200 year old historic building, has been fitted with a state of the art smart home automation system, which controls the heating, lighting, security and entertainment systems, easily-operated via mobile iPhones, dedicated remote controllers, and fixed wall-mounted tablets, all provided for guests to use around the property.
Many rooms are equipped with studio-quality ceiling loudspeakers that can play any audio or video from the in-house entertainment system or from any guest phone, tablet or computer. The speakers seamlessly blend into the interior decor to faithfully reproduce the sound of a concert hall or movie theatre.
Each room's speakers can be set to play the same or different sources. For example, a movie can be screening in the cinema, while cooking and dining to your favourite music, as relaxing bath music plays in the master en-suite. Alternatively the same music can play in all rooms.
With the included Apple Music subscription, you can enjoy losing yourself in 60 million songs, with unlimited streaming ad-free. You can sing along with displayed lyrics and listen live to radio stations around the world. Tap into new music or your favourites with curated playlists from Apple's editors. Ask Siri to search for songs, even by lyrics.
The in-house security system allows that when visitors ring the doorbell, the fixed wall-mounted tablets and mobile iPhones provided for guests around the property communicate video and audio from the caller, allowing the opening of the door at the touch of a button.
