Area: 35.240 m²

Formal issues:
This preliminary project will serve as a basis for the development of the future execution project of a five-star hotel in the city of Conakry, Republic of Guinea.
The building is star-shaped and is developed into three wings of rooms, meeting at a central point that forms the lobby. The shape is studied so that the room wings do not have too much distance. They have a fire escape staircase at each end.
The central space that constitutes the lobby is the heart of the building and is formed by a 25 meters in diameter circle and seven floors high. On the roof it has a large skylight that serves to illuminate this large space.
Ground floor:
In the lobby there is the reception, a cafeteria, the main staircase and four panoramic elevators.
In the right wing is the administrative area, with its respective offices and meeting room, an area of small shops, next to the emergency staircase, the staff access and the toilets and changing rooms are located on the other side of the corridor. There are guest toilets, which serve both the lobby area and the convention rooms, a piano bar-restaurant and games room.
The laundry and maintenance and installation rooms are located in the central wing. This wing opens to house the SPA, which in its upper part has a gym. The gym is located on the mezzanine of the SPA.
The convention rooms are located between the right and central wings, which can be prepared with seats as an assembly hall, or with tables for celebrations, the two rooms are separated by mobile panels, so that they can be opened or closed according to the needs.
In the left wing there is the kitchen, the entrance and storage of goods, the restaurant and the staff canteen.
1st to 5th floors:
the rooms are arranged between the first and fifth floors; in each wing there are 19 double rooms with a full bathroom and a Junior suite. Each floor has 57 rooms and three Junior suites.
