Its form responds to the Griffin’s original vision for the city, based on masterplanned rings. The interiors are integral to the experience the architecture creates.

Designed for Capital Property Group, the hotel consists of 191 rooms over six levels, as well as hospitality and conference facilities.

The building’s circular geometries allow it to be read in the round, responding to the site’s multiple approach and vantage points. The glass façade incorporates a screen of circular rings, creating privacy for guests without loss of view.

Inside, the ground floor carries through the circular motif and introduces an aesthetic that’s reminiscent of air travel in the 1960’s and 70’s. A dramatic, full-height atrium is the social focus of the hotel. The atrium is animated by a restaurant, bar and lounge, which sit adjacent to the reception and kitchen. Above, curved white balustrades contrast dark circulation spaces, while circular skylights provide natural light and foster a sense of enclosure.

Warm natural materials, including leather, wood and travertine, create a contemporary take on the mod interior, heightened by the use of reds and oranges in the fabrics.
