Hotels. Hotels Hotel entrance area

Do you want to study hotel business? Do you have a general concept and business plan? You can proceed directly to the hotel design stage.

Hotel design is one of the most significant stages preceding the construction of a facility of any scale and purpose.

The basis for designing a hotel is the concept developed at the stage of drawing up a business plan. Design allows you to get a complete picture of how the hotel will look from the outside and what will be inside.

The plans include not only the architectural design of hotels, calculation of the number and area of ​​rooms, placement of the lobby bar, but also the layout of all mandatory zones, general style decision, selection of furniture, arrangement of necessary equipment, placement of utility networks and communications. This rule remains unchanged for both a country hotel and a resort area. Designing an ordinary hotel, eco-hotel or spa hotel requires the coordinated work of a large team of specialists: from builders and technologists to designers and architects. Everything is important: from the selection of finishing materials to determining whether 50 seats are enough for a restaurant in a hotel with 60 rooms.

Detailed design of hotels from the Fantalis team

Based on your application, our team will carry out all stages of designing hotels for 2, 3, 4 and 5 stars, including the development of architectural and planning solutions.

Our clients receive a complete and comprehensive package of drawings and plans that comply with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 16, 2008 No. 87 “On the composition of sections of project documentation and requirements for their content.”

The presence of this package of documents allows you to easily obtain permission to build hotels, as well as hotels with a swimming pool or other additional services.

The work of our company involves the following stages:

Development of a hotel master plan

The development of the hotel master plan includes sections that allow conciliation procedures to be carried out in the shortest possible time and work related to changing the landscape of the site to begin. We perform:

• development of a planning scheme land plot. This drawing involves indicating all objects located on the site;
• planning, landscaping solutions, plans for planting, placement of lighting fixtures;
• plans for the construction of all buildings and structures with detailed description all stages;
• plan of earth masses;
• plan for the placement of utilities, connections to main networks;
• landscape design, landscaping of the surrounding area, including vertical planning;
• development of a plan for sanitary protection zones with justification of boundaries for each capital facility;
• developing a plan to protect buildings and structures from natural disasters, including large volumes of storm water, flood waters, rising groundwater, earthquakes, etc.;
• connection to roads and junctions.

Detailed design of the hotel

If the hotel project needs to be submitted for state examination, the work is carried out in 2 stages:

1. Hotel design - stage “P”;
2. Development of working documentation for the hotel - stage “RD”.

In addition, projects for connecting utility networks and fire alarms are being developed. For earthquake-prone areas, special attention is paid to the issues of stability and reliability of buildings. At the first stage, drawings of all buildings, including technical extensions and premises, are developed.

Mandatory attention is paid to the organization of transport movement, placement of recreation areas and landscape design. For each of the hotel buildings, a bill of materials indicating the volumes is drawn up.

The design and construction company "Fantalis" specializes in the development of hotel projects: from 2-star level to 5-star with a complex additional services at the hotel. We have experience in solving all possible problems that accompany the design of hotels and the placement of entertainment venues. Each of the company’s specialists is responsible for a separate stage of work, but together they form a well-coordinated team capable of preparing a project of any complexity and purpose. After all, each type of architectural solutions has its own specifics. But it is physically impossible to know everything. And we chose our direction - the development of original and unique solutions for hotels.

Passing approval procedures

Our company’s specialists will not only develop a hotel project that will pass the state examination without comments or modifications, but will also help with passing mandatory examinations and approvals from government authorities, if necessary.

The hotel building would fit well into the Eskpo exhibition town, which, as you know, is always designed by the very best architects. At the same time, it fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape - and here we mean not only the most expensive village in Russia, Luxury Village, where the hotel is located, but also the pine forests near Moscow: the hotel’s wooden facades become, as it were, a continuation of them. The interior is also dominated by natural materials (wood, marble, linen) and colors (chocolate, vanilla, sand), and the furniture, made by B&B Italia according to designs by Antonio Citterio specifically for the hotel, does not scream about its exclusivity, but is organically included in the space. // barvikhahotel.com

11 Mirrors

When open: November 2012
Architecture/design: Anatoly Kirik and Marina Leo
How much does it cost per night: on booking.com - from 18,426 rubles. for a double room (breakfast included)

In working on the project of this hotel, its owner Vladimir Klitschko became for the designers Anatoly Kirik and Marina Leo what Stalin was for Iofan: an ideologist and, in fact, a co-author. Which speaks only in favor of the boxer: the hotel became the only one in the CIS to join the international association Design Hotels. In addition, in 2012 it received the International Hotel Award in the category “Best Small Hotel”. The narrow eleven-story building with a granite facade unites modern design and 19th century architecture. The hotel's interior is dominated by mirrors and glass - which means air and lightness, which are always in short supply in large capitals. // 11mirrors-hotel.com

Rooms Hotel Kazbegi

How much does it cost per night: on booking.com - from 8469 rub. for a double room (breakfast included)

From the village of Stepantsminda (until 2007 - Kazbegi) climbs to the second highest point of the Caucasus, Mount Kazbek, which rises above the village in all its glory. Nata Dzhanberidze and Keti Toloraya from the Rooms bureau came up with a convincing reason not to leave the village. The mountains, which enter the hotel space through the panoramic windows of all rooms and design it, certainly attract all the attention of hotel guests. The interior, as it were, only frames this grandiose picture: natural wood, stones, light and air, home comfort that does not contradict modern laconicism - if there is a place more in tune with Kazbek, it is only a tent under its peak. //roomshotel.ge

This panorama deserves special attention.

W St.Petersburg

W St.Petersburg

Where:Russia, St. Petersburg, Voznesensky prospect, 6
When open: June 2011
Architecture/design: Vladimir Grigoriev / Antonio Citterio
How much does it cost per night:on booking.com - from RUB 14,160. for a double room (breakfast not included)

Hotels of the W chain have some constant, which does not change from city to city (for example, a branded W-bed), and a variable, which expresses the author's style of designers and architects. In this case, Italian designer Antonio Citterio also had the task of fitting the hotel into the culturally and historically rich urban context. Citterio coped with the task brilliantly - in places literally: the color scheme is dominated by chrome and gold. The restrained beauty, straight lines and open spaces characteristic of St. Petersburg shape the interiors of the W Hotel, into which the St. Isaac's Dome and other views of the city penetrate as the most important feature through huge windows. // wstpetersburg.ru

JW Marriott Absheron Baku Hotel

It cannot be said that the architectural design of the hotel is striking in its novelty and boldness, but perhaps this is exactly what a lifetime monument to a successful resource-based economy should look like: glass, symmetry and elevation above the city. The specialists of the British firm ReardonSmith, obviously, acted within the framework of the order - and settled into this Procrustean bed with all possible elegance. And although the rooms in the JW Marriott Absheron are quite standard for a five-star hotel, without any interior revelations, in the lobby and other public spaces the designer managed to solve a very difficult task. Namely, to pronounce the word luxury so that it does not sound abusive. //marriott.com

How much does it cost per night: on booking.com -from 23,200 rub. for a double room (breakfast included)

A striking example of an acute, and therefore spectacular, discrepancy between form and content: minimalism in the packaging of Stalinist architecture. The living quarters were designed by the court decorators of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands - Suzanne Loggier and Patrick Brugman from Domus Aurea Design Interiors Group. They designed every detail of the interior of all forty hotel rooms specifically for Rodina. There is, however, a semantic connection between the outside and the inside - public spaces with marble floors and crystal chandeliers, designed by the Italian Mateo Thun, build a bridge from Stalinist neoclassicism to modern ideas about beauty and comfort. // grandhotelrodina.ru

There are millions around the world different hotels. They are all completely different and unique. Some hotels are cozy and modest, while others are luxurious and expensive. But there is also another category. These are hotels that will take your breath away just by looking at them. When everyone, looking at the photo with one eye, says “Wow!”

Luxury hotel on the island of Santorini (Greece) is located at an altitude of 90 meters above sea level, on beautiful rocks calderas. It is considered one of the most amazing hotels in the world. Thanks to its snow-white facade and delicate overall design, it is simply impossible not to notice. The hotel's amazing location brings it great amount benefits. Firstly, there is a stunning view of the sea from every point of the hotel. Secondly, being located high in the rocks, far from civilization, the Katikies hotel offers its guests privacy and a carefree holiday. The architecture was adapted to the surrounding landscape, following its natural forms. But despite this, the amazing white hotel-resort stands out from other buildings. The hotel features two huge swimming pools, an outdoor Jacuzzi and, of course, impressive and breathtaking scenery all around.

This wonderful hotel is located in the small village of Conca Dei Marini, located between Italian cities Amalfi and Praiano. The hotel and spa complex is located on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Gulf of Salerno. Very romantic and a nice place, reminiscent of hotels from old films. However, this is what it is, because it was built in the 17th century, but at that time it was a monastery. Later the building turned into a hotel, which impresses with its beauty, unique history and architecture. After reconstruction, it retained its charm that has existed for many years.

The luxurious hotel has 20 rooms with views of the ocean, coastline and multi-level gardens. Over the years, several changes have been made to landscape and interior design. Many of the building's original features have been retained, but some new features have been added. The hotel now features a stunning cliff-edge pool and luxurious spa.

Ladera Resort is located on the island of St. Lucia. It consists of a total of 9 villas and 23 open-walled suites. The so-called Open Wall system means that the western side of each room is completely open and offers magnificent views of the mountains and the Caribbean Sea. The idea of ​​an open-wall resort was first implemented in 1992. Since then, it has become a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. All suites and villas have private pools. This amazing resort walks a fine line between luxury and minimalism.

The layout of the rooms has been carefully thought out to provide guests with maximum comfort and privacy. All guests can enjoy life and relaxation away from civilization. This is facilitated by relaxing spa treatments, beautiful restaurants and many interesting events that are regularly held here. The rooms feature beautiful French furniture and accessories created by local artisans, as well as 19th-century wickerwork. In addition, all villas and suites feature paintings by local artists.

The Radisson Blu Hotel has gained worldwide recognition not because of its stunning location or magnificent views from the windows of the rooms, but because it houses the world's largest cylindrical aquarium. It's called Aquadom and is filled with approximately 1 million liters of seawater. There are 1,500 tropical fish of 56 species swimming in the aquarium, and miniature reefs are located on its bottom. The condition of the amazing and unique aquarium is monitored by specialists from the Berlin Sea Life Aquarium, located next to the hotel. The aquarium, consisting of four parts connected together, is made of acrylic glass and has a cylindrical shape. The aquarium is located on a 9-meter concrete foundation. The aquarium and the hotel were built at the same time, or more precisely, the hotel was built around the aquarium, turning it into the main attraction of the hotel. A glass elevator allows visitors to ascend observation deck located under the hotel's glass roof. For those wishing to spend more time here, the hotel offers 427 apartments with tropical views undersea world or with a city view.

The amazingly beautiful Glass Igloo hotel is located in Finland. The windows offer a delightful winter landscape. Without a doubt, everyone, admiring the charming view, will want to spend as much time as possible outside. Unfortunately this is not possible due to cold weather. But there is one place where the conditions are simply excellent. This is the glass villa at the Kakslauttenen Hotel. Here winter looks even more beautiful than it really is.

After a busy day at work, guests can relax in the transparent rooms and fall asleep under the stars. Glass domes provide panoramic views of the surrounding landscape as well as the sky. The main idea is to create the impression of sleeping outside under the stars, but at the same time warm and cozy.

Jade Mountain is an unusual resort located in Saint Lucia, in the eastern part of Caribbean Sea. It is located above the beach of the Anse Chastanet resort. The hotel features bold architectural details, stunning pools and bridges connecting individual rooms to the rest of the resort. Beautiful columns highlight the local architecture. The resort offers its guests an exclusive restaurant, a terrace, and a spa. Everything at Jade Mountain Resort is designed with an emphasis on rest and relaxation. There are no telephones, no radio, no television. Internet access is only available at the reception.

The most amazing thing about it is the layout of the rooms. Each room at Jade Mountain Resort has only three walls. Each room has luxurious bedrooms, a living room and its own private swimming pool amazing view on the sea. And the absence of a fourth wall is a huge plus, since the open space allows you to admire the beautiful landscape, feeling like a part of nature.

Soneva Gill by Six Senses is an absolutely wonderful holiday destination located in the Maldives. The hotel occupies one of the largest lagoons in the region. The resort consists of oversized water villas. Each villa offers breathtaking ocean views. Favorable weather and beautiful whites sandy beaches make the region ideal for a resort.

Today, people increasingly want to find something attractive, but unique and unusual. This is exactly what the Grotta Palazzese restaurant can rightfully be called. Palazzese is a unique and delightful restaurant located inside a vaulted limestone cave. The restaurant is only open during the summer months. The limestone cave overlooking the sea is another detail that makes this place unique. Hotel guests can enjoy dinner here and at the same time admire beautiful landscape, listen to the sound of waves crashing on the shore and feel the sea breeze caressing your skin. This place is definitely worth a visit, if only to experience the thrill of dining in a cave near the sea. The hotel is located a little higher. Both the hotel and the restaurant have a very sophisticated look.

The hotel was designed by architect Moshe Safdie.
If you want to completely retire, hide from the world, then you should go on vacation, which allows you to be alone with yourself, away from the bustle and crowd of big cities.

Hotel Ukraine is one of the seven Stalinist skyscrapers in Moscow. The hotel building was built at an accelerated pace for the International Festival of Youth and Students, which was scheduled for 1957. Hotel Ukraine in Moscow initially included 1000 hotel rooms and 254 apartments.

The outer part of the building is decorated with obelisks, vases made of sheaves of wheat, and decorative walls made of five-pointed stars. The hotel's interior is also characterized by lush decorative decoration with marble and picturesque lampshades. Hotel Ukraine is 206 meters high with a spire and consists of three parts. The central part of the hotel includes 34 floors.

The hotel is located in an important place, from the point of view of urban planning, at the Dorogomilovskaya bend of the Moscow River on the Taras Shevchenko embankment. The building was erected even before the construction of the Novo-Arbatsky Bridge and active development adjacent part of Kutuzovsky Prospekt.

The high-rise was supposed to become a vertical marking the beginning of the newly laid Kutuzovsky Avenue. According to the master plan for the reconstruction of Moscow in 1935, the designed avenue was supposed to be called Constitution Avenue and it was supposed to pass by Poklonnaya Gora through Dorogomilovsky district to the center. Now these are New Arbat and Kutuzovsky Prospekt.

Architects of the Ukraina Hotel

The architect of the Ukraine Hotel was A. Mordvinov, who specialized more in the high-speed construction of new quarters of Moscow. His ideas were more relevant to solving problems with the catastrophic shortage of living space for Moscow citizens.

Therefore, to work on the Ukraine Hotel project, he attracted the newly released architect V. Oltarzhevsky, who took part in the work on the project of the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition in Moscow and was repressed in the 1930s on charges of sabotage.

After the death of I. Stalin, the architects of the skyscraper had to justify their construction for a long time. At the suggestion of N. Khrushchev, incredible criticism began of both the structure and the architects who created it. Most of the architects who took part in the work on high-rise buildings, including the Ukraine Hotel, lost Stalin's prizes and high positions. Architect A. Mordvinov was disgracedly removed from the post of President of the USSR Academy of Architecture.

Construction of the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow

The architects and builders of the Ukraine Hotel faced a difficult task. The bank of the Moscow River is not the best place to erect a high-rise building. The building design assumed that the foundation of the entire structure should go to a depth of 11 meters and 6 meters below the groundwater level.

In those years, there were two solutions to such a difficult problem, or the already well-known system of soil freezing or water reduction using a network of pumps. To drain groundwater in the pit, more than 900 pumping units were provided.

Hotel Ukraine received its name only under N. Khrushchev; before that, at all stages of architectural planning and construction, the project was called the Hotel Building in Dorogomilovo.

Fully architectural ensemble was completed only in the late 60s, when the appearance of Arbat Square and New Arbat was finally formed. The Taras Shevchenko embankment and the square laid out on it successfully complemented the appearance of the Ukraine Hotel.

Engineers, planning Constitution Avenue, intended to build it with houses three times smaller in height than those built. However, due to criticism of the project by N. Khrushchev, buildings were erected on Kutuzovsky Prospect that were as tall as the Ukraine Hotel and significantly detracted from its appearance.

In magazines of that time they wrote that “the eerie hulks that grew on the sides new route, have obliterated the hotel spire with its grayness, which against their background looks like a medium-sized sapling stretching out from under the asphalt of New Arbat.”

In 1957, at the time of its opening, the Ukraine Hotel was considered the largest in Europe. The restaurant of the Stalin skyscraper was also a landmark of Moscow in its own way. From above, the entire structure is a rectangle, one side of which makes up the main element - the high-rise building of the hotel itself, and two long and symmetrical sides make up the residential buildings.

The golden hue of the Moscow region limestone used to clad the building emphasizes the richness of the façade. The majesty of the structure is emphasized by the colored mosaics in the high-rise part of the building, the extensive use of bas-reliefs and three-dimensional sculpture.

One of the legends about Stalin's skyscrapers says that the designs of all buildings were based on pyramid designs. And indeed, among the design drawings for Ukraine there is a drawing reflecting the idea of ​​a pyramid.

It is their proportionality that contributes to the harmonious perception of high-rise buildings. The architect of the Ukraine Hotel A. Mordvinov based the project on a versatile pyramid. The architectural image of the high-rise embodied the universal principles of harmony.

Interior of the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow

The rooms at the Ukraine Hotel were designed and equipped to the highest standards of that era. The equipment for preparing and heating the air was almost silent. The building was provided with a general dust removal system.

The building included several restaurants and shops. The restaurant's halls were designed in typical Stalinist architecture. The closed rectangular architecture and monumental enfilade were completely incompatible with the restaurant function.

One of the European guests of the Ukraine Hotel wrote that “while having breakfast in the restaurant hall, I experienced the full severity of the building, pathos, excessive pomposity, and my own insignificance.” According to I. Stalin’s plan, these were exactly the feelings that should have arisen in all visitors to Moscow skyscrapers.

The large dimensions of the halls and individual elements of the restaurant were completely disproportionate to a person, and especially to a person sitting. The use of expensive materials in decoration, luxury fabrics and tableware made eating not just an uncomfortable event, but a very dangerous ritual. One awkward move by a guest and a large fine had to be paid for damaged tablecloths or dishes.

It is impossible not to mention the KGB post on one of the floors of the building. The Soviet government could not allow such a facility as the Ukraine Hotel, which also received foreign guests and was located within walking distance from the Foreign Ministry building, to not have special equipment for listening to conversations and monitoring guests. And as you know, a post with duty officers from a specialized department was always posted near the equipment.

Reconstruction of a high-rise building

In 2005, the building of the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow was put up for auction. The Moscow government was forced to sell the building because there was no co-investor willing to invest almost $60 million in its reconstruction. More than 20 little-known companies took part in the auction. The winning bidder was Biscuit LLC, which paid $275 million for the high-rise building.

The entire building has undergone reconstruction. The interior decorative elements and the façade, including the 73-meter spire, were updated. During reconstruction, one of the eight decorative towers collapsed on the restaurant building. There were no casualties in the emergency, as everything happened at night.

During the analysis of the destroyed structure, architects and experts agreed that the collapse occurred due to the use of low-quality building materials during the construction of the Ukraine Hotel back in the 1950s. But despite this, its further operation is considered safe.

Today, a high-rise building not only fulfills its main purpose as one of the best hotels Moscow, but is also a striking landmark of the city. In 2010, the renovated high-rise began to welcome guests under the Radisson Royal brand. The management of the building was entrusted to The Rezidor Hotel Group. New Hotel Radisson Royal joined the international Radisson Hotel chain.

One of the conditions for the reconstruction of the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow was the preservation of its historical appearance and interior decor. Now in the pompous halls of the skyscraper there are:

1. Restaurant "Tatler Club" by A. Novikov.
2. Beefbar “Junior”.
3. Restaurant "Veranda".
4. Restaurant of Iranian cuisine "FARSI".
5. Italian restaurant "Bono".
6. "Mercedes Bar".
7. Karaoke bar "Troubadour".
8. Restaurant for two "Romantic".

Most high point building - a glass veranda under the spire of the Ukraine Hotel, or as it is now called the Radisson Royal Hotel, is occupied by the Romantic Restaurant. At almost 200 meters in height there is a magnificently decorated table and two comfortable chairs, just for two.

And the main decoration of this restaurant is not its snow-white decoration and romantic atmosphere, but, of course, the view! View of Moscow from the center to the outskirts. By the way, the restaurant “Bono”, located nearby, is included in two of our ratings “The most expensive restaurant in Moscow” and “Panoramic restaurants in Moscow”.

The restaurant's cuisine fully corresponds to the height of the restaurant itself; each dish is unique and is a masterpiece of culinary skill. Dinner at this unusual place will be remembered for a lifetime, and the story of the evening spent on one of the highest and most unusual roofs in Moscow will be passed down as a family legend.

Diorama Moscow - the capital of the USSR

The Ukraine Hotel in Moscow not only fulfills its function of receiving guests, but is also a hall for a large number of objects of artistic value. In the main gallery of the first floor there is an amazing historical exhibit - Diorama Moscow - Capital of the USSR. The diorama is a miniature Moscow of the 70s. The diorama is not only a cultural and historical monument, but also a masterpiece of panorama art.

The diorama surprises with a very high level of accuracy. The models of the objects depicted are particularly authentic. The diorama is made on a scale of 1:75, which allows you to examine in detail the entire center of what was then Moscow.

The total area occupied by the diorama is 306 square meters. m. and is equipped with mechanisms that reproduce the appropriate time of day. The diorama was created in the art workshop of Efim Deshalyt for the National Exhibition in the USA by order of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The diorama was exhibited in many countries around the world, giving the opportunity to take a virtual trip behind the Iron Curtain to the capital of the Soviet Union. The diorama at the exhibition in Leipzig won a gold medal as a work of high art.

In the USSR, the Diorama was exhibited at VDNH and in one of the exhibition complexes in Moscow. In 2007, especially for the reconstructed Ukraine Hotel in Moscow, at an auction, the Diorama was bought by the new owners of the building. In 2010, restoration work on the Diorama was completed and it is now on display.

Pier of the Ukraine Hotel in Moscow

The Ukrainian pier in Moscow is located on the Taras Shevchenko embankment opposite the park in front of the hotel. The pier, like the embankment, was built in 1961 to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of the Ukrainian poet T. Shevcheno, complementing the architectural composition of the structure. The pier is equipped for disembarking and embarking passengers. The Radisson Hotel berth is usually called a berth, despite the fact that in the river fleet the more common term is a pier.

There is no stopping near the pier " water buses» – pleasure boats of the Capital Shipping Company, making regular river walks along the Moscow River. The berth of the Ukraine Hotel is intended only for parking of motor ships of the Radisson Royal flotilla. Radisson cruises along the Moscow River on modern and comfortable yachts begin from the pier of the renovated hotel.

Flotilla Radisson Royal

In 2009, 5 magnificent pleasure yachts, specially designed for Radisson Royal, were launched:

1. Ferdinand.
2. Scarlet.
3. Celebrity.
4. Chapel.
5. Bon Voyage.

The snow-white yachts surprised and delighted not only the travelers themselves, but also the Muscovites, who watched in amazement as the ships smoothly glide along the waters of the Moscow River. The trip on the pleasure boat from the Radisson flotilla was mainly entertainment for foreign tourists. But in last years and Muscovites began to increasingly buy tickets for cruises on the Moscow River.

In 2013, the Radisson Royal flotilla was replenished with improved yachts with 1st class salons and open decks, allowing you to experience a journey along the water surface of the Moscow River: enjoying the sun, headwind and splashing waves:

1. Butterfly.
2. Montana.
3. Felicita.
4. Primavera.
5. Beauty.

Cruises on the Moscow River from the Radisson Royal pier run every day all year round. The ships are equipped with all the necessary equipment to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers. Panoramic glazing of all Radisson Royal fleet yachts allows you to admire the center of Moscow without any interference. Open decks are great place for a photo shoot.

All ships have restaurants and bars where you can have a pleasant dinner and admire different panoramas of Moscow.

Hotel project:

A modern hotel is a complex that combines many different functions, such as housing, restaurants, public areas, technical premises and service infrastructure. The main task for an architect when designing a hotel is to arrange and link together zones for various purposes so that, on the one hand, there are no technological problems in the operation of the designed hotel, and on the other hand, the resulting internal space should be cozy and attractive, and the facades are beautiful and memorable.

The architectural design of hotels has a number of features that are not typical for other types of objects. These are the specifics of planning decisions and fire regulations, and the need to solve facades in such a way as to avoid the appearance of a regular layout in the breakdown of facades.

It is not so easy to achieve an extraordinary solution for facades in a hotel project. This is due to the design features of this type of building. A large number of identical rooms in the plan sets a certain constructive step, which cannot be hidden on the facades, which is why the facades of most designed hotels have a regular spacing of windows and balconies.

Small hotels:

This feature of hotel planning forces architects to look for non-trivial ways to solve the problem. In a certain sense, small hotels are easier to design. This is due to the fact that with a smaller number of rooms and their greater diversity, it is much easier to achieve interesting solutions for the building facades and interior space. The size of the site on which the hotel is being designed is also of great importance. The larger it is, the more interesting the hotel project implemented on it can be.

Mini hotel projects:

A feature of mini hotels is the almost complete absence of service infrastructure, a small number of rooms and very cramped conditions of the land plot. In this regard, all those auxiliary and service establishments, which, as a rule, are included in large and medium-sized hotel complexes, should be located near such a hotel.

Hotel design:

In a hotel project, first of all, great attention should be paid to the flow of visitors and staff. Competent zoning and a well-thought-out technological scheme should be the result of the development of layouts in a hotel project. If, for some reason, this cannot be done, then problems cannot be avoided during the operation of such a hotel.

The hotel design process begins with an assessment of the plot of land for development: its area, topography, presence of communications on it, surrounding buildings. Therefore, it is not possible to begin designing hotels without the customer providing a geological basis and site plan. Also, a detailed technical specification is required with a description of the number of rooms (the number and area of ​​different types of rooms), engineering systems, and specifications of the service infrastructure. As well as the requirements set by the customer for the level of finishing of residential, technical and public premises of the designed hotel.

After receiving all the necessary information, the architect begins to develop zoning schemes for floors, both above-ground and underground, “fitting the volume of the building” onto the general plan of the site. Next, planning solutions, hotel facades, and a general site plan are developed. Upon completion of work on this stage, the customer receives a ready-made preliminary design for the hotel, which includes:

• Explanatory note
• Technical and economic indicators
• Situational plan
• General plan
• Floor plans
• Cuts
• Facades
• 3D visualization

The next stage of work is the Project stage. At this stage, designers and engineers from related sections are involved. They all develop their own sections of the hotel project, making changes to planning decisions, elevations, and sometimes the landing of the building. For each section of the hotel project, diagrams, specifications, calculations, etc. necessary at this stage are developed. Each section is agreed upon with the project architect and after final approval and verification, a completed hotel project is produced, ready for the necessary approvals.

Upon completion of approvals, you can begin issuing Working Documentation. At this stage, all necessary documentation for construction in all sections is issued. Maximum elaboration of all components and parts is carried out, estimates and specifications are issued, both for general construction and engineering sections of the hotel project. After completing work on this last design stage, the customer receives all the documentation necessary for the construction of the hotel. However, for high-quality and technologically correct construction work, technical and designer supervision of construction is necessary. Representatives of which monitor compliance with the project and technical regulations of the work carried out on the construction site.
