"Poised above Circular Quay, the hotel forms a civic threshold where harbour, city, and people converge."
The tower’s articulated form responds to changing views, light and its prominent setting at Circular Quay. At ground level, carefully resolved entrances, lobbies and public interfaces connect the hotel with the surrounding precinct and contribute to an active harbour edge.
Developed through a design excellence process, the tower combines an expressive architectural identity with the complex operational requirements of an international hotel.
Sandra Furtado and Peter Sullivan played leading roles in the project while at Crone, guiding its development from early planning and competition design - in collaboration with Kengo Kuma & Associates - through detailed resolution.
Following the project’s acquisition by AHW, Furtado Sullivan continued as design consultant through to tender.
