LOCATION: Beirut, Lebanon
CONSULTANT: AAA
This project was conceived as an extension to the charming hotel “Relais et Chateaux” completed in 1998 by AAA. Articulated around a square patio, it consists of two parts: the new rooms section “Annexio” and "The Residences of the Albergo". The hotel’s architecture is well-integrated in its context respecting the traditional character of the neighborhood while modernizing the key elements of the heritage. Those elements include large arched bays, glazed volumes emerging inspired by the bow widows of the 1930s, balconies with wrought iron balustrades, metal structure verandas, pergolas, and beautiful terraces .
