This document contains a report on five hotel case studies: 1. Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, designed by Moshe Safdie as three hotel towers connected by a 1.2 hectare sky park. It has 2,561 rooms and helped define a new typology for integrated resorts. 2. Seagull Hotel in Cox's Bazaar, Bangladesh with 182 rooms overlooking the Bay of Bengal. It has various amenities like restaurants, spa, and conference facilities. 3. Additional case studies include Hotel Park Royal, H2Otel, and Hotel Triton but they are not described. 4. The document analyzes the case studies' concepts, designs, and achievements.

MARINA BAY SAND
SINGAPORE
Marina Bay Sands is one of two winning proposals for Singapore's first Integrated
Resorts, the other being the Resorts World Sentosa, which incorporates a family-
friendly Universal Studios Theme Park. The two large-scale resorts were conceived to
meet Singapore's economic and tourism objectives for the next decade and they will
have 30-year casino licenses, exclusive for the first ten years..
Architect : Moshe Safdie
Location: Singapore
Rooms: 2,561
Height: 207 m (679 ft)
Stories: 57
Area: 2,689,288 sq. ft.)
The most efficient massing would have resulted in a
monolithic and wall-like building. Due to its
prominent location within Marina Bay in Singapore, it
was decided that three towers would be created
instead of one. Each concrete tower hotel is designed
a t a h e i g h t o f 5 5 s t o r i e s .
Spanning across the top of the three towers is a 1 .2-
hectare (3-acre) Sky Park, a new type of public space,
framing large urban windows between the towers.
From the downtown area, framed views of the sea
are created, and from the sea, a new city gateway is
viewed.
The Emergence of the
Urban Window
The project anchors Singapore’s waterfront, creating a gateway to Singapore,
and providing a dynamic setting for vibrant public life.
The building has broke away from the conventional model of a mega-hotel and
integrated resort and in doing so, defined both a new typology and a new icon
for Singapore.

a new typology and a new icon for Singapore.”

The principle challenge for the Marina Bay Sands project was
The combination of complex design parameters matched with a very fast project
schedule, from initial sketches to substantial completion within four years.
The success of the project lies in the fact that the inventiveness of the design (the
concept ion of the hotels and the Sky Park) was matched by an equally inventive and
novel approach developed by the engineering and construction teams.

Netherlands-based architecture firms RAU and
PowerhouseCompanyhaveproposedasuper-efficient
luxury hotel for Amsterdam that is powered by water.
The H2Otel is a prototype for a new hotel typology that
uses water as its main source of energy for heating,
cooling, cooking, and the generation of electricity.
While water is the lifeblood of the hotel, many other
energy efficient strategies are included in the design to
minimize energy use such as passive design, smart
fixtures and appliances, and advanced climate control
systems.
The South and East facade are covered in wooden
lamella made of thermally-treated softwood. The
facade protects the building from overheating at mid-
day and during the warm season.
The north facade opens up with views of Amsterdam
below and a less-dense arrangement of the lamella for
more light. The edges of the wooden facade panels are
clad with anodized aluminum, which reflects light into
the rooms and creating the ‘golden glow’ known from
thepaintingsoftheDutchmasters.
