Morrissey Hotel By Aboday

Aboday Architecture tries to deconstruct the concept of a 3 stars hotel on a 1.2 Ha site.

The building comprises of 2 rectangular blocks on juxtaposing manner and a separate BOH building. The facade of each is manipulated base on its function specific. The 5 storey lower block is made into cantilever, hovering about 20m long 7m above the ground to provide openness at the welcoming point, enable visitor to seek better orientation upon entering the complex, thus glancing towards the apartment lobby, and an office building towards the end, while the 10 storey higher block comes with a quad volume sky garden opening that frames east-west orientation vista and allow cross ventilation.

Luxury Hotel on Meskheti Range

The breathtakingly scenic setting of the Meskheti Mountain Range in Georgia is to become home to a new luxury spa hotel, as designs by Henning Larsen Architects with consulting engineers Buro Happold stole first prize in an international competition for the new Aghobili Hotel.

Guests to the 22,000 sq m, 200 room hotel will be able to relax and unwind surrounded by some of the country's most picturesque landscapes, taking in the fresh clean air in the isolated location of Abastumani at the entrance to the Borjomi-Kharagauli National Park. Modern conference facilities are coupled with a sumptuous spa complex, complete with a large pool that runs over the edge of a terrace, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the surrounding flora.

Anders Park, Project Manager at Henning Larsen Architects explains: "The conceptual design of the new Aghobili Hotel is rooted in the rich history and stunning landscape of Abastumani. The hotel has a discrete expression and appears as a natural extension of the landscape. Each room will have an uninterrupted view of the magnificent Meskheti Range."

Arora International

Arora wins T5 hotel contract.
Arora International has won the battle to operate the 600-bedroom hotel to be built at Heathrow airport's massive new Terminal 5. The group will operate the four-star hotel as a Sofitel under a long-term franchise agreement with French hotel giant Accor. The hotel, which is scheduled to open in 2008, will be Accor's second Sofitel in the UK. Its first is in London's St James's. Arora International will take a 150-year ground lease on the site, which is rumoured to be costing the company 30% more than predicted. The interiors of the hotel will be designed by KCA International, which is famed for its interiors at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. CBRE Hotels acted on behalf of BAA Lynton, the division of the British Airports Authority which owns the land, while HVS International acted on behalf of Arora International.
