The project is being developed by ExCeL London’s parent company, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company, in partnership with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Jestico + Whiles’s innovative design provides 252 guestrooms, triple height entrance hall, bar, lounge, meeting rooms, fitness suite and a separate bar/restaurant which will spill out on to a new pedestrian piazza.

The building is formed of three elements: a central ‘spine’ contains bedrooms and vertical circulation and is flanked by two crescents which house further bedrooms and gently curving corridors. The ‘serpentine’ form of the building helps to define external spaces and is also driven by a number of restrictions on construction allied to the clients’ requirements in terms of guestroom types and mix.

The scheme is targeting a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. The hotel will be clad in several thousand coloured, textured stainless-steel shingles. The glazed façades will feature a large-scale screen-printed pattern, inspired by the illusion of depth seen in some of Bridget Riley’s paintings. The material will reflect the sunshine, adding warmth and liveliness to the building’s exterior spaces.
