Hotel Category

There are many types of hotel and it resulted a tones of search results in on the Web Wikipedia and I found that,

Hotel can be categorised (or ranked) by prices, building scales, facilities offered, infrastructure and uniqueness. From the website of Travel + Leisure, the coolest hotels are all categorised by the special aspects and spatial qualities of the hotel. Some of them are small like a capsule and some are site specific, such as the Kenya Giraffe Manor hotel with wild animals that are attractive for tourists to have a taste in living in the wild. The hotel take the advantage of the site and the hotel setting is site specific. The hotel is the most impressive one for me because the hotel is not only the living facilities for the tourists and it introduce the culture and lives in Kenya specifically, and the design of the hotel offers the opportunities for the visitors to experience the sense of the nature.

Another hotel project that I have been looking is the Macau Galaxy Casino Hotel project I participated during the summer internship in Hong Kong. The project architect is Simon Kwan and Associates, a Hong Kong based firm, the size of this project is really large and there are two hotel towers, a ground-level transport hub (for public buses and turbo ships) connect with the deluxe shopping mall which consists of a wide range of well-known brands' headquarter stores. The theme of the building design and decorations are a fusion of Thai and antique setouts. The floor areas and and the floor levels are still need to be confirmed because the client changed the budget and construction time frequently. However, the mixed use development of this Casino Hotel complex provides a reasonable proportion of areas and spaces for a variety ages and genders of tourists. The floor plans and sections drawings are not permitted to be published at the moment. This project is under construction and the completion date is about 2011.
