The promoters of the luxury hotel planned for the end of the port, past the cruise terminal - the Hesperia Hotels group together with the Al Alfia Qatari fund - will reveal more details of the skyscraper and the project for the total remodelling of the end of the Levante quay, both designed by the international studio of David Chipperfield, next Monday, 17 November. The meeting, in the building of the former institute of port studies (currently the headquarters of the UNIA), will be attended by the promoters and the technical team responsible for the project.
It is already known that the building designed by the Pritzker Prize winner (Nobel Prize for architecture) will have a very simple and stylised rectangular structure. It will rise to a height of 144 metres (some 35 storeys) and will house between 350 and 390 suite-style rooms. A key feature, in addition to its glass façade, is the large roof garden terrace, which will be the most iconic part of the building and one of the main characteristics of its design.
