History
Architecture
The hotel was designed by WOHA, a Singapore-based architecture firm.[9] It was designed as a hotel-as-garden. It includes green walls, water features, and 15,000 m2 of tiered "sky gardens". The building is claimed to be self-sustaining and designed to consume minimal energy with the use of solar cells, motion sensors, rainwater harvesting and reclaimed water.[6][10][11]
The twelve-storey tower sits atop a five-storey podium and is shaped to ensure all rooms face either the park or internal sky gardens. Services and corridors are placed on the southern side. The building’s form and nearby structures provide shading, allowing for fully glazed façades with low-emissivity glass and no need for external screening.[12]
Facilities
The hotel has 367 rooms and suites.[13]
