How We Design Hotels & ResortsHow HKR can make a difference

We treat our clients as our partners.

Collaboration is a powerful thing - it’s about listening and understanding the aspirations of our clients. Then working closely to define the issues, establish the goals and to understand the realities of the brief.

Understanding the product is key - whether it’s a 5-star deluxe destination hotel, a conference hotel or a boutique spa resort; or whether it’s a fractional development or a time-share golf resort project.

Design should not be formulaic – it should be responsive to the context and the brief, it should be driven by a knowledge of how hotels and resorts work and ultimately, it must bring a fresh and creative way to customise the product.

Designs should be unique with each project having its own personality and its raison d’être.

And, of course, it has to make financial sense.

The Developer

There is value in brand – even if you aren’t one of the big international ones. How we design your product has to reflect and embody your values, and the way you will run your hotel.

So, understanding who you are is critical.

No matter how luxurious or simple your hotel is, there is an entire back-of-house operation which has to support it. It affects everything from how warm that bowl of soup is when room service delivers it to how much loss the hotel will incur from pilfering through lack of security. All these issues are heavily determined by design.

Getting the glamour into a hotel is one thing but getting the operations to run efficiently is vital in hotel design - and that means no wastage of resources, speed of delivery and seamless integration with front-of-house functions.

The Operator - The Brand

We bring our design skills and our experience of working on some great hotels to deliver the developer’s vision.

Our designers have collectively worked with some of the most well-known brands in the world and also some of the most discreet.

How We Design Hotels & ResortsWhy design should be unique

Some hotels have become destinations in their own right – they’re the icons of hotel design and are one-off experiences. Once you’ve experienced it and ticked the box, you won’t necessarily return.

However, the vast majority of hotels rely on repeat business. Today’s guest will choose a hotel almost entirely on the basis of the experience it offers and the way the hotel reflects the guest’s lifestyle. So it’s critical that your designers get it right.

But how do you define that experience? How do you know what your guest wants?

We all know the guest’s basic needs – comfort, reliability, good service. Most hotels should at least offer all that. But in an increasingly diversified marketplace driven by what we term ‘the experience economy’, people travel further and in search of more. Adventure, tranquillity, family-friendly places, business oriented environments, design-led or culturally responsive - guest profiles and demands vary dramatically. As designers, where do we start?

The Guest

At HKR we don’t design places to suit everyone – places which are mass customisable can also be bland. We interrogate the brief and work very hard at understanding the guest profile and the market. Then we work closely with the design and project teams and creatively tailor the design to deliver the right product – one that is

innovative ›

experience driven ›

appropriate for its context ›

At HKR we believe, from a guest’s perspective, these are areas where design can make a real difference.

How We Work

We tell stories with our designs. We design hotels and resorts as if they were journeys and adventures and we work very hard to ensure that the story is a compelling one, choreographing it and filling the journey with meaningful experiences.

Where does the story begin? At the hotel’s front door? When you get to your room? When you relax by the stunning infinity pool? And where does the story end?

The journey is as important as the destination

And there’s a story with the operators too - it’s called ‘efficiency, efficiency, efficiency’.

We know our way around hotels and that enables us to optimise spaces, smoothen out service routes, plan our operations to occur as quickly and as discreetly as possible so that the guests can be given a 5-star service – no matter what star-rating your hotel is. Efficiency means better service for the guest. It also affects bottom line making savings in time and material for the operator; and of course, the owner gets a better performing hotel overall – it’s a win-win.

The Shelbourne Hotel

02

In 2001 HKR Architects was appointed to extend and refurbish the landmark and heritage 5-star Shelbourne Hotel in the historic centre of Dublin, beside St Stephens Green. This was the first major remodelling of the property since 1860.

With an €80 million refurbishment and extension that blends classical elegance and new generation 5-star flourishes, the Shelbourne Hotel reopened in 2007 under the Marriott brand as a Renaissance Hotel.

HKR’s remodelling of the hotel, which has increased in size by over 67,000 sq ft to 240,000 sq ft, has greatly enhanced and expanded the functional elements while also retaining the essential spirit and atmosphere that makes The Shelbourne Hotel Ireland’s most prestigious hotel.

HKR’s redesign of the hotel involved extensive refurbishment of the existing public areas including restaurants, bars, health spa, conference facilities, the addition of a 7 storey 100 bedroom wing over two basement levels, and the construction of a new ballroom over a new basement, all within this protected structure. The total number of bedrooms and suites in the hotel is now 265.

Key to the redevelopment was retaining The Shelbourne’s character while meeting the high standards of the Marriott International Renaissance Hotel brand. The broad scope of the project required extensive studies and appraisals of the existing hotel and its fabric, both at the initial stages with the original hotel operators Le Meridien, and subsequently with the new owners and operators Marriott International.

Page 9: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

02

HKR developed the concept for the refurbishment and extension of the building in 2003. A number of planning applications were subsequently made in 2005 with the new owners who purchased the hotel in late 2004.

To achieve these applications HKR evolved and expanded the design to include additional bedrooms, more basement areas, the layout for a new ballroom, and the lowering of existing basement levels to provide enhanced headroom. The scope of refurbishment in the existing heritage areas of the wing also increased to include the complete replacement of all electrical and mechanical systems in the hotel.

The Shelbourne Hotel project demanded a very high degree of conservation expertise and architectural sensitivity with regard to the national and historic significance of the hotel fabric, particularly as such a major renewal of mechanical and electrical systems in a historic structure was been undertaken. Careful integration of these systems into the historic fabric was required – The Shelbourne is now the first heritage hotel in Ireland with a conservation approved mist sprinklers system.

“I’ve just visited our newest Renaissance hotel - The Shelbourne… it’s a spectacular restoration of one of Dublin’s finest hotels… I travel to a lot of hotels every year, and this is one of the best I’ve ever seen.”Bill Marriott, Marriott International

Millennium Hotel

01 02

HKR has designed the 224 bedroom 4-star deluxe Millennium Hotel for Marina Developments at Southampton’s prestigious Ocean Village.

On the site of what was formerly a boatyard – Maritime Walk, Princess Alexandra Dock – the proposed landmark development will have a prominent waterside frontage with stunning panoramic views across the marina.

The design of the building is conceived as a series of interlocking forms – on the base, an elongated glass block along the length of the promontory accommodating the public areas. The ballroom is located close to the entrance which allows it to open out and interact with the piazza during exhibition and events.

The principal 10-storey guest accommodation ‘floats’ over a plane of glass above the podium base.

Page 11: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

As night falls the hotel will become more dramatic, with the triple storey reception space lighting up and transforming into theatre with strong visibility from the landscaped public piazza.

Guest accommodation will be a mixture of luxury suites, family guestrooms and club guestrooms. Other facilities at the hotel will include banqueting and conferencing for up to 800, restaurant and café bar – both with external terraces – together with a dedicated spa floor, as well as an executive and marina berth holders club lounge.

The building will include energy saving technology including a cutting edge sea-water cooling system instead of traditional air conditioning.

“We are committed to building a high quality hotel on this key site in Ocean Village… borne out by the quality of our first project …Ocean Car Park, which is shortlisted for a RIBA Design Award. The hotel will become equally iconic to the cityscape in the next couple of years.”Alan Chater, Marina Developments Ltd

The Rotana Hotel is a key building in the Al Seef precinct at the Raha Beach development in Abu Dhabi. The curved project site sits on the waterside, fronting a circular water feature where two canals converge.

The Rotana Hotel is designed to maximise views to the waterside and to provide an exciting food and beverage destination on the promenade.

The hotel will comprise 250 guestrooms and suites within a total development area of 270,000 sq ft. It will also include 8 food and beverage outlets – all-day dining, 5 themed restaurants, a destination bar and poolside bar/café, a spa and fitness centre and a conference centre with ballroom and meeting rooms.

Page 13: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

The building is designed as a series of multi-faceted, crystalline blocks with a glass atrium enclosing the main guest lift core. Balconies run the length of the building providing sun shading and view opportunities, whilst the lower public levels on the promenade are clad in glass opening out towards the views of the water feature and towards the public promenade.

HKR is also designing the interiors, allowing us to deliver a seamlessly integrated, experience-driven and unique hotel project.

The Marriott Ashbourne, designed by HKR Architects, opened in 2007. This large 4-star hotel provides a new iconic gateway to the town of Ashbourne, Co Meath, north of Dublin. The hotel sits on an 8 acre site and is a standalone structure on this Greenfield site.

The design of the Marriott Ashbourne is arranged around a spectacular central atrium providing a unique signature to this landmark building. The 160,000 sq ft hotel contains 148 bedrooms as well as bars, restaurants and extensive leisure facilities.

The hotel is a six storey building – a four storey bedroom block over a two storey plinth containing all public function areas.

There are three bedroom wings, which are arranged in a pin-wheel configuration of finger blocks coming off the central atrium and stair/lift core. All circulation to and from bedrooms travels through the atrium with its panoramic views over the Meath countryside.

Page 15: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

The public facilities include function rooms, bars, restaurants and a leisure centre with swimming pool.

There is over 8,500 sq ft of meeting space in the Business Centre, with 8 meeting rooms. There are also 325 car parking spaces.

HKR were invited to submit designs as part of a developer-led competition for a luxury 5 star hotel and residential apartment building in the Spinningfields district of Manchester. Manchester House sits at the gateway to Salford and occupies a strategic site in the pedestrian circuit between retail and public spaces. The proposals align with the boutique experience proposed as part of The Avenue by providing a spa, bars and restaurants of a matching standard.

The scheme consists of a 300 bed hotel over 20 storeys with 150 apartments over 10 storeys above. Each guest room floor has a large lift lobby to avoid endless corridors with standard rooms 345 sq ft and suites 690 sq ft. Each apartment is provided with elevated views from an external sun lounge that allows natural ventilation via a tempered environment.

Page 17: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

In between the hotel and apartments sits a spa providing an experience for the senses, whilst the roof-top bar allows for an exclusive perspective of the city below. All facilities, including valet parking and concierge services, are available to both hotel guests and apartment residents. Further conference and meeting facilities are provided over two levels above the four-story vibrant entrance volume.

Each use of the building is expressed in the envelope. The core is solid with few penetrations while the adjacent blocks are light and transparent. All elements are highly reflective and luxurious in line with the quality of the existing Spinningfields developments.

Due to start on site in late 2008 this proposal is for the extensive remodelling and conversion of a 1960s’ office block in the centre of Bristol into a new 145 bedroom hotel with food, beverage and conferencing facilities.

The hotel will provide good quality accommodation in a reconfigured and remodelled building and will help regenerate the surrounding area.

The hotel will have an active ground floor, with its reception, lounge, bar and dining areas positioned to overlook local streets and the Georgian Brunswick Square. It will provide external areas with a sense of interest, activity and passive surveillance.

The building will be re-clad to improve its appearance and make it more attractive. The existing concrete panels will be removed and the elevations stripped back to the structural frame, with the new cladding set out to break the dominant horizontal lines of the existing block.

The elevation to Brunswick Square has been carefully set out in response to the conservation area context.

HKR Architects designed the Kingswood Hotel in West Dublin, which opened in early 2007. The interior architecture was also created and implemented by HKR’s Interior Architecture team.

This modern boutique hotel was designed to complement the Kingswood Farmhouse to which it is now attached. The restored Georgian farmhouse blends seamlessly with the vibrant modern building and the composition creates a diverse and dynamic setting for the 129-bedroom hotel.

The exising farmhouse and the new modern hotel extension are joined by a glazed corridor that provides a walk-way link. In the old house, the original features have been retained, including cornices, skirtings, window shutters and the main stairs. The restaurant benefits from a high-hipped ceiling that is highlighted with contemporary chandeliers and large shades.

Page 21: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

Extensive landscaping works have been undertaken. The bar and restaurant open out onto a sunken garden which includes fountains and outdoor seating. The garden is enclosed by mature trees and a rubble stone wall which was rebuilt from the stone of the original garden walls.

In the interior of Kingswood Hotel, HKR’s careful use of materials and confident detailing provides a high quality environment which belies its budget status. A seamless interface between the existing historic listed element of the building and the new bedrooms is achieved by creative attention to detail.

Marriott Courtyard Norwich

This project for Trinity Hotels will provide a 183 bed new build hotel close to the city centre of Norwich. The 111,000 sq ft hotel sits in a key location fronting not only Barrack Street and the River Wensum but also sitting adjacent to one of the few remaining sections of the historically important medieval city wall.

The ground floor provides a mix of uses including a restaurant and bar overlooking the river for use by guests and the public with five efficient bedroom floors and one level of basement car parking.

The new hotel forms a key part of a wider masterplan for redeveloping the Whitefriar area of Norwich which includes both office and residential uses. The ground floor of the hotel opens out onto a large public square which has been created along the river front. This links with existing public routes along the river and opens up a new route adjacent to the city wall improving public access to this historic part of the city.

The Capital Centre

This project is located on a prominent corner near the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, designed to support the new Exhibition Centre currently being extended and redeveloped.

The site is 22,000 sq ft in surface area and is in a highly visible position, located at a gateway into the central area of the Exhibition Centre. The project has a target development area of 280,000 sq ft with a podium and tower of 26 stories and 4 levels of basement car parking. The building comprises 288 serviced apartments, 3 retail units, a restaurant, an executive lounge, a podium swimming pool, a gym and a multipurpose function room.

In articulating the exterior form and massing of the building, the challenge was to achieve 3 principal aims:

To create an exciting and visually ›dynamic form with a striking skyline/silhouette

To maintain a simplicity of form and ›ultimately, the ease of construction within a tight development programme

To optimise the efficiency of the ›building floorplates

Page 24: Hkr hotels resorts

HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS HKR : HOTELS & RESORTS

The building design took the form of a split tower with the core located within a central atrium space, providing a dynamic and active experience for the guests in the transition to and from the apartments. The atrium space will also bring natural daylight into the interior of the building.

The Cambridge Hotel is a new build 150 bedroom hotel which will be located on Station Road in close proximity to Cambridge Railway Station.

Planning permission has been granted for the redevelopment of the site. The overall size of the hotel is 120,000 sq ft, which will include a seven storey building, with additional banqueting and state-of-the-art conference facilities to the lower ground floor. There will also be automated car parking in the basement area.

The contemporary designed bedrooms are housed in the upper floors of the building, above the stylish reception, foyer, bars and restaurant spaces at ground level. The public areas wrap around an atrium which illuminates from the roof to ground floor level. This allows for natural daylight to flood into the interior space of the building, effortlessly illuminating the internal atrium and feature stair. The building uses natural limestone clad balconies to focus on the feature planar glazed thermal chimney which is to the front of the building. The floor is fully glazed being set back to create balcony areas for the standard bedrooms and private terraces for the deluxe hotel suites.

The Groucho Club

The Groucho Club was established in 1985 and has become one of London’s most well known private members’ club. Its original membership was drawn from the publishing world however, in recent years it has expanded to include all creative fields of the media and arts.

When established, Soho was the natural location - with its bohemian history and population of working and living writers, artists and filmmakers. The Club quickly became the establishment for arts and media folk and has become the benchmark for modern members’ clubs.

As a thoroughly modern members’ club, The Groucho Club offers breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, plus wireless internet access, reception rooms to hold press conferences, book launches, concerts, exhibitions, parties and meetings. The Club has bedrooms open to members and their guests, and is a home from home and office from office to many of its members.

HKR is currently involved in the architectural redesign of the Groucho Club from the ground floor up, including the interior design and refurbishment of the newly laid-out guestroom floors with a total of 20 new bedrooms. This includes the design of the bedroom interiors, new case-goods and furnishings, lighting and accessories.

HKR designed the Smithfield Hotel which opened in 2006. The interior architecture was also created and implemented by HKR’s Interior Architecture team.

The 100 bedroom hotel is being operated by Choice Hotels under their Comfort Inn brand.

The client brief was to design a 4-star hotel on a 3-star budget. Careful detailing with confident use of materials and finishes provides a completed product that puts this particular budget hotel into the city centre boutique market.

Materials and finishes are cool, minimalist and contemporary, with stone floors, decorative glass and a carefully selected furniture package that provide a luxurious but serviceable environment.

The success of the project is confirmed by Choice Hotels decision to use this hotel as a benchmark for all Choice Hotel interior fitouts going forward.

Ontario Basin was successfully won under competitive bid in 2007. The proposed plans comprise 3 high quality hotels with 450 bedrooms and 250 apartments, and associated car parking and public facilities.

The scheme has been designed with particular consideration given to the provision and improvement of an accessible waterside and an emphasis on active ground floor uses that generate pedestrian activity.

Views and connection to the waterside is maximised by orientation of the building above podium level, with the upper levels providing an enviable place to live and stay.

The vision for Salford’s waterfront is for it to become a haven for water-related recreation, culture, commerce and living and that this success will go on to provide benefits for neighbouring communities.
