In this rehabilitation project, the scope of work included full interior design services to rehabilitate and enhance certain zones and spaces within the existing structure of the hotel to meet the new standards of The IHG (Intercontinental Hotels Group). The design evaluated the current conditions of the included zones and measured it against the new IHG standards and ISO 22000. The approach was to create unique architectural and interior design features which enhance guest satisfaction. Also, the design is sensitive to the culture of the city whilst maintaining a sense of modernity to create a high quality, landmark building, which will add a distinctive touch to the city of Aqaba.

The project maximized revenue generating spaces within the property for optimum financial feasibility, and utilized efficient design, engineering and alternative materials to maximize quality, modularization, and simplicity. The rehabilitation of this 34,000m² project included 265 guestrooms with various room types such as family rooms and royal suites, F&B outlets, lobbies, and services. The existing structure was upgraded to new sleek modern spaces with open, light-filled, floating contemporary furnishings with light tones of wood and shades of blue. This beachy color scheme is persistent throughout all the renovated spaces of the hotel to provide the user with a calming yet welcoming experience from the moment they enter the hotel till they reach their rooms.
